Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Slider Ingredients

  • 1 package dinner or Hawaiian sweet rolls (12 rolls)
  • ½ cup marinara or pizza sauce
  • 16 oz shredded cheese
  • ½ cup to ¾ cup pizza toppings (chopped bell peppers, pepperoni, black olives)
  • 1 teaspoon pizza seasoning

 Garlic Parmesan Topping

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic salt or salt, adjust to taste
  • 1 ½ tablespoons freshly grated parmesan

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9×13 baking dish with oil or nonstick spray. Set aside for later.
  2. Make the Pizza Sliders: Using a knife, slice horizontally through the sheet of rolls, keeping all the tops in one sheet and all the bottoms in one sheet.
  3. Lay the sheet of roll bottoms onto the prepared baking dish. Spread marinara sauce into an even layer over the rolls.
  4. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the pizza sauce.
  5. Top evenly with pizza toppings.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the pizza toppings.
  7. Sprinkle pizza seasoning over the cheese.
  8. Carefully place the sheet of roll tops over the cheese. Press down.
  9. Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Topping: Melt the butter in a small mixing bowl. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt. Whisk until well mixed.
  10. Using a pastry brush, brush the Garlic Butter Topping over the rolls. Use a spoon to spoon the garlic evenly over the rolls. Then, sprinkle parmesan over the butter.
  11. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for about 12 minutes, taking care to not allow the foil to stick to the tops of the buns.
  12. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 3-5 minutes to crisp the tops.
  13. Carefully slice the sliders, using the individual rolls as a guide.
  14. Serve with fresh parsley, a side of roasted garlic bread and tomato basil pasta. Enjoy!
