    Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Halve, core, and thinly slice long green pepper into strips. Halve, peel, and thinly slice half the onion (whole onion for 4 servings). Place 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4) in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until just softened, 10-15 seconds. Stir in garlic powder and a pinch of salt . (You'll use the remaining garlic powder in the next step.)

    While potatoes roast, heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper, sliced onion, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly charred, 5-7 minutes. TIP: Add splashes of water as needed to prevent veggies from burning. Transfer to a plate.

    Meanwhile, remove Italian pork sausage from casing; discard casing. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in pan used for veggies over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. TIP: If there's excess grease in your pan, carefully pour it out.

    When potatoes have about 5 minutes left, halve demi-baguette lengthwise, stopping before you get all the way through. Spread cut sides with garlic butter. Place, cut sides up, on a second baking sheet. TIP: Line sheet with foil first for easier cleanup. Toast on middle rack of oven until bread is golden, 3-4 minutes. Carefully spoon sausage mixture onto bottom halves; top with veggies and mozzarella cheese . TIP: The sandwiches are supposed to be messy—don't be afraid to pile them high! Return to middle rack until cheese melts, 2-3 minutes more.
