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
  • 1/41/2 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

  1. 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.
  2. Mix melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush the tops and insides of the rolls with the garlic butter.
  3. Place rolls on a baking sheet and bake for 4 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
  4. Remove from oven and add a small spoonful of tomato sauce into each roll.
  5. Add a piece of mozzarella cheese, then place a warmed meatball in each roll.
  6. Top each meatball with a sprinkle of Parmesan and more mozzarella cheese.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and tops are golden. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  8. 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.
