Ingredients

12 Hawaiian Dinner Rolls
1 cup Pizza Sauce divided
2 ½ cups Mozzarella Cheese shredded
¼ cup Butter melted
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F.
Prepare a baking sheet by covering it with nonstick spray, parchment paper, or aluminum foil.
Slice the Hawaiian rolls through the middle. Place the bottom half of the rolls on the baking sheet, set the top of the rolls aside for now.
Spread ¼ cup of the pizza sauce over the bottom section of rolls. Add more according to personal taste, and save the remaining to use as a dipping sauce later.
Next, spread half of the mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce.
Layer the pepperoni over the cheese.
Over the pepperoni, spread the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.
Now, add the top half of the rolls.
Melt the butter and mix it with the Italian seasoning and garlic.
Brush the garlic butter over the top of the rolls.
Sprinkle some parmesan cheese over the top if you like.
Cover the sliders with a piece of foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover the rolls and continue to bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the sliders are golden brown.
Cut the sliders into sections and serve warm.

Notes

For the air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 300 degrees F. Cut the sandwiches into individual sections. Place the sliders into the air fryer, in a single layer with a small space between the sandwiches to allow the air to circulate.

Air fry the sliders for 5 to 8 minutes or until the cheese has melted, and the sandwiches are brown
