    Line a sheet pan with foil. Toss frozen meatballs with marinara and smoked paprika until coated.

  4. Step 4

    Top each sub with 2 slices provolone and a handful of pepperoni. Broil 2–3 minutes until cheese melts.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from broiler and scatter fresh basil over the top. Serve immediately.
