From the first bite you’ll notice a balance of texture and taste that feels both familiar and exciting.

INGREDIENTS
12 soft rolls, sliced in half but still connected (use one 12-count package)
1 cup spicy marinara sauce
2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
5-ounce package mini pepperoni slices
1/2 cup black olives, drained
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried parsley
3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
PREPARATION STEPS
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Using a large serrated knife, carefully slice the rolls in half to create a ‘slab’ of tops and a ‘slab’ of bottoms. Keep the rolls connected.
Place the bottom slab of rolls on the prepared baking pan.
Spread the spicy marinara sauce evenly across the bottom rolls.
Generously sprinkle 1/2 of the mozzarella and Colby Jack cheese over the sauce.
Evenly layer half of the mini pepperoni slices on top of the cheese.
Repeat the layering with the remaining cheese and pepperoni.
Finish by adding the black olives.
Place the top slab of rolls over the layered ingredients.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter on high for about 1 minute.
Stir in the dried oregano, garlic salt, and parsley, mixing well.
Brush the buttery herb mixture over the tops of the rolls.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese on top for an extra cheesy kick.
Cover the sliders with foil and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and gooey.
Slice into individual sliders and serve hot.
Enjoy these mouthwatering Pepperoni Pizza Sliders at your next gathering!
