Ingredients

Scale

2 packs (12 rolls each) Hawaiian sweet rolls
16 oz (450g) shredded mozzarella cheese
1 package pepperoni slices
1 cup (240ml) marinara sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
4–5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lay the entire block of Hawaiian rolls into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the rolls.
Cut pepperoni into quarters and scatter over the cheese. Add other dry toppings if desired.
Dollop marinara sauce over the cheese and pepperoni, spreading gently to create pockets. Sprinkle with dried oregano.
In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced fresh garlic, granulated garlic, dried parsley, and salt.
Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the sliders, ensuring every roll is coated.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake covered for 15 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes until tops are golden brown and crispy.
Let cool for 5 minutes before pulling apart and serving.

Notes

You can assemble these the night before, cover tightly, and refrigerate. If baking from cold, add 5-10 minutes to the covered baking time. Do not skip the foil step, as it steams the rolls and prevents burning. Chop pepperoni to prevent curling. For a vegetarian version, omit meat and add veggies like mushrooms or olives.
