Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Pro Tips
🔥 For crispier sweet potato fries, cook them in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
🧀 Use mozzarella for a classic melty texture, or add provolone for a sharper Italian sub flavor.
🌿 Add basil after layering the meats so it stays fresh and fragrant.
🥪 Use soft slider rolls that hold together well after baking.
🌶 Add banana peppers, pepperoncini, or red pepper flakes for extra heat.
