The Italian meatball sub is a classic sandwich that has been enjoyed by people of all ages for generations. The traditional version of the sandwich is made with meatballs that are simmered in a tomato sauce and served on a hoagie roll. However, this recipe takes a healthier approach by using ground beef that is cooked in the air fryer and almond flour to make the bread. The result is a sandwich that is just as delicious as the traditional version, but it's also lower in calories and carbohydrates.
