Description
These Meatball Parmesan Sliders are a quick and easy sheet pan dinner made with Hawaiian rolls, juicy meatballs, melted mozzarella, and garlic butter—perfect for beginner cooks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package King’s Hawaiian Rolls
- 12 cocktail meatballs (cooked and warmed)
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce
- 1/4–1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, hand-shredded
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Without separating the rolls, cut small deep holes into each roll top without cutting through the bottom, then press down the centers to create space.
- Mix melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush the tops and insides of the rolls with the garlic butter.
- Place rolls on a baking sheet and bake for 4 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
- Remove from oven and add a small spoonful of tomato sauce into each roll.
- Add a piece of mozzarella cheese, then place a warmed meatball in each roll.
- Top each meatball with a sprinkle of Parmesan and more mozzarella cheese.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and tops are golden. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Cool slightly before garnishing with parsley and serving.
Notes
- Pre-toasting the rolls keeps them from getting soggy after baking.
- Use foil to prevent over-browning if necessary.
- Warming meatballs ahead of time ensures they heat through evenly.
- No pastry brush? Use the back of a spoon to apply butter mixture.
- Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the oven for best texture.
