Ingredients
Scale
1 (12 count) package sweet Hawaiian rolls
1 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup sliced pepperoni
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Optional: Dipping sauce (marinara or ranch)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Carefully slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls connected in one piece. Place the bottom half of the rolls cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the bottom layer of rolls.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce layer.
Arrange the pepperoni slices over the cheese.
Place the top half of the rolls over the pepperoni layer.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Brush this mixture evenly over the top of the assembled sliders.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the buttered tops.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the tops are lightly golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing between the rolls into individual sliders. Serve warm.
Notes
For crispier pepperoni, you can briefly bake the pepperoni slices on a paper towel-lined plate in the microwave for 30 seconds before assembling.
To prevent soggy bottoms, lightly toast the bottom half of the rolls in the oven for 3 minutes before adding sauce and toppings.
Customize your sliders by adding cooked, crumbled sausage or thinly sliced bell peppers under the cheese.
