Make these easy pizza sliders using Hawaiian rolls for a perfect crowd-pleasing appetizer or quick weeknight dinner. They are cheesy, savory, and topped with a flavorful garlic butter glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12 count) package sweet dinner rolls (like Hawaiian rolls)
  • 1 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Carefully slice the entire package of rolls in half horizontally, keeping the bottom halves together in the dish and separating the tops onto a cutting board.
  3. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls in the baking dish.
  4. Layer the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  5. Arrange the pepperoni slices over the cheese.
  6. Place the top halves of the rolls over the pepperoni layer. Gently press down.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning to create the garlic butter glaze.
  8. Brush the entire top surface of the assembled sliders generously with the garlic butter mixture.
  9. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered tops.
  10. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  11. Bake for 15 minutes covered.
  12. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tops are lightly golden brown.
  13. Let the pizza sliders rest for 5 minutes before slicing them apart and serving immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of dried oregano or red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture.
  • If you want to make these ahead of time, assemble the sliders completely, cover them, and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Add 10 minutes to the covered baking time if baking straight from the refrigerator.
  • Serve these crowd pleaser snacks with a side of warm marinara sauce for dipping.
