Sheet Pan Pepperoni Sliders
These sliders are ideal for entertaining or feeding a crowd. They’re simple to assemble, easy to customize, and bake in one pan—perfect for busy weeknights or a casual party.
Ingredients
1 12-count package dinner rolls, sliced in half (keep the tops and bottoms connected as two slabs)
1 cup marinara sauce (spicy if desired)
2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
1 (5-ounce) package mini pepperoni
1/2 cup black olives, drained
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried parsley
3/4 tsp garlic salt
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Using a large serrated knife, slice the package of rolls horizontally so you have one slab of bottoms and one slab of tops, keeping each slab connected.
Place the bottom slab in the prepared pan. Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the bottom slab.
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and half of the Colby Jack over the sauce. Add half of the mini pepperoni slices in an even layer on top of the cheese. Repeat with the remaining cheeses and pepperoni.
Scatter the drained black olives over the pepperoni layer. Place the top slab of rolls over the assembled filling and set aside briefly.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, warm the melted butter for about 20–30 seconds if needed, then whisk in the oregano, garlic salt, and parsley until blended. Brush the herb butter evenly over the top of the rolls, then sprinkle the Parmesan cheese across the top.
Cover the pan with foil and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheeses are melted and everything is heated through. Remove the foil for the last few minutes if you’d like the top to brown slightly.
Let the sliders rest for a minute, then slice between the rolls into individual sliders and serve immediately.
Notes
Prep time is about 10 minutes, and cook time is roughly 12–15 minutes. This recipe yields about 12 sliders. You can customize fillings—add sliced mushrooms, diced bell pepper, or swap pepperoni for cooked sausage. For a milder version, use a mild marinara and omit the garlic salt or adjust to taste.
