Ingredients:

*1 and 1/2 cups Sliced Almonds

*2 teaspoons Bottled minced Garlic

*1 cup Breadcrumbs, like Panko

*1 cup shredded Parmesan Cheese

*1 teaspoon dried Oregano

*2 teaspoons dried Parsley

Instructions:

Pulse 3 to 4 times in a food processor the slice almonds. Then add: Garlic, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, parsley, black pepper and salt. Pulse in the food processor until coarse and starts to come together. Scoop out mixture and form into balls and place on a baking sheet until all mixture is scooped.

In an air fryer, air fry 7 meatless meatballs in air fryer or according to directions of your air fryer. I set mine on the fish setting and 380*F. for 6 minutes. Test with your first batch of meatless meatballs, then adjust cooking time as needed, yours may need less time.

In a skillet add the tomato sauce and the Air fried meatless meatballs, on medium-low heat and bring to a simmer and heat until mixture heated through. Then add to the sandwich on top of cheese slice as instructed below.

Slice onion rolls in half and brush on extra light olive oil or use butter, spread to the inside of each cut side edge coating to the edge of each sliced roll. Then Broil in the oven on high on baking sheet, watching carefully until toasted. Repeat for each roll.

Add a slice of cheese to the bottom side of the roll and add the meatless meatballs with the tomato sauce and top with Basil Leaves. Add the roll top and serve immediately. Repeat for each sandwich.
