Make these simple pizza sliders using Hawaiian rolls for a quick, cheesy, and crowd-pleasing appetizer perfect for game day or a fast weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (12 count) sweet Hawaiian rolls
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni (or more for topping)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 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 Hawaiian rolls horizontally, keeping the rolls connected in their original shape. Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the bottom layer of rolls.
  4. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  5. Arrange the pepperoni slices over the cheese layer.
  6. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
  7. Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese and pepperoni layer. Do not press down firmly.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture evenly over the top of the rolls.
  9. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the buttered top.
  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 fully melted and the tops are lightly golden brown.
  13. Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes before slicing between the rolls and serving warm.

Notes

  • To prevent soggy bottoms, lightly toast the bottom half of the rolls in the oven for 3 minutes before adding sauce and toppings.
  • You can customize these easy pizza sliders with your favorite toppings like cooked sausage, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
  • For a spicier kick, add a dash of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter topping.
  • These are excellent served with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
