Ingredients You’ll Need
- twelve-count package of Hawaiian dinner rolls
- one cup marinara sauce
- one cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- one cup pepperoni
- four tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- four tbsp butter softened
- two tbsp minced garlic
- two tbsp Italian seasoning
- half tsp chili flakes
- fresh oregano and basil for garnish
Equipment You’ll Need: an oven, a baking sheet or pan, parchment paper.
How to Make these Sliders
Preheat your oven to a toasty 375°F – we’re about to whip up some delicious pizza sliders! Grab those rolls and give them a good slice down the middle. Place the bottom halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Now, let the fun begin – spread some marinara sauce, layer on provolone and mozzarella cheese, sprinkle some pepperoni, and top it off with 2 tbsp Parmesan and 1 tbsp Italian seasoning (in that order, trust me!). Pop the top halves on and let’s move to the next step.
Time to make things super tasty – mash up some garlic, butter, the remaining Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of chili flakes. Smear this goodness on top of the rolls. Now, cover them up with foil, making a little tent so it doesn’t touch the tops. Bake for 10 minutes, then unveil those beauties and let them bake for another 5 minutes until they’re just a tad brown on top. Keep an eye on them – that butter and garlic can go from golden to burnt real quick!
Once they’re out of the oven, go ahead and serve those pizza sliders with a sprinkle of fresh oregano and/or basil. It’s time to dig in and enjoy these flavor-packed, cheesy delights with your pals. Bon appétit!
Storage Instructions
These pull apart pizza sliders are best served fresh. While I do not recommend freezing or refrigerating them in advance (hello soggy bread), you can certainly wrap up the leftovers after baking and refrigerate for two days. When you are ready to eat, wrap in foil and reheat in the oven at 350°F for 15 minutes. They won’t be as tasty as when served fresh, but they still hit the spot!

Top with the top half of the rolls.
- Mash the garlic, butter, remaining parmesan, remaining Italian seasoning, and chili flakes. Spread the mixture on top of the rolls.
