These pull apart pizza sliders are always a guaranteed crowd-pleaser! Loaded with 3 types of vegan cheese and slathered in the most delicious herbed garlic butter, it’s safe to say they’re a touch down among family and friends every time! Not to mention, they’re so easy and can even be made ahead of time, making for the perfect party appetizer.
Ingredients
Herby Garlic Butter:
- ¼ cup vegan butter melted
- 2 tablespoons fresh minced parsley plus more for garnish
- 8 cloves fresh minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Sliders:
- 1 12-count package vegan-friendly dinner rolls, cut in half lengthwise
- 1 ½ cups pizza sauce homemade or store bought, divided, plus more for serving
- 1 cup vegan mozzarella shreds
- 5 ounces vegan pepperonis such as Sweet Earth Foods, Field Roast, or Yves (see recipe notes 1)
- 1 cup vegan parmesan shreds plus more for garnish
- 6 slices vegan provolone cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- For the herby garlic butter, place the melted butter, 2 tablespoons minced parsley, garlic, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes into a small bowl and whisk together to combine. Set aside.
- To prepare the sliders, spread 1 cup of the pizza sauce onto the bottom half of the dinner rolls. Next, sprinkle on the mozzarella shreds, pepperonis, and ½ cup parmesan cheese. Dollop on the remaining ½ cup of pizza sauce and top with the provolone slices. Place the top half of the dinner rolls and transfer the sliders to a parchment paper rimmed baking tray.
- Brush with tops with the herby garlic butter and loosely cover with foil. Bake until the cheese is mostly melted, 15-20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10-12 minutes, until the rolls are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with additional fresh parsley and parmesan, and serve immediately with additional pizza sauce (see recipe notes 2).
Notes
1. There are several different brands of vegan pepperoni such as Yves, Sweet Earth Foods, and Field Roast that can be found at many grocery stores ordered online through vegan grocery-delivery services. If you’re unable to find vegan pepperonis, you can slice vegan sausage links very thinly, or make your own at home. I love Minimalist Baker’s Vegan Pepperoni recipe!
2. These sliders can be made up to 3 days ahead of time. To do so, follow the directions, but do not bake them. Cover tightly with foil and store in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to prepare, bake according to the directions.
