🔪 How to Make Italian Sub Sliders
Making these sliders is a very straightforward affair. It simply takes a little layering and some baking. That’s all there is to it!
Step 1: Prep
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Cut the Rolls
Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half and place the bottoms on the baking sheet.
Step 3: Layer
Add 6 slices of provolone to the bottom half of the rolls. Then, add ham, salami, and pepperoni. Finish with the remaining provolone. Place the top buns on the sliders.
Step 4: Make the Seasoned Butter
Melt the butter in a small microwaveable bowl. Then, sit in the Italian seasoning.
Step 5: Bake
Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter and bake the sliders for 15 minutes until the rolls are golden and the cheese is melted.
Step 6: Combine the Vegetables
While the sliders bake, combine the lettuce, onion, banana peppers, roasted red peppers, mayo, and Italian dressing. Then, chop up the lettuce mix into small pieces in the bowl with kitchen scissors.
Step 7: Add the Veggies
Remove the tops of the sliders, top with the veggie mixture, and replace the rolls. Enjoy!
