Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and Portobello mushrooms into thin strips.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced vegetables with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Sauté or grill the vegetables for 6-8 minutes until they are slightly charred and tender. Set aside.
Slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise, leaving one side connected to form a hinge. Place them on a baking sheet.
Spread a thin layer of chipotle mayo on the inside of each hoagie roll. Place 1 slice of mozzarella cheese inside each roll.
Bake the hoagie rolls in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are warm and slightly toasty.
Remove the hoagie rolls from the oven and layer the sautéed vegetables evenly in each roll.
Top the vegetables with a handful of arugula and a few slices of pickled jalapeños.
Serve the hoagies warm with extra chipotle mayo on the side if desired. Enjoy!
