Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pack (12 count) Hawaiian sweet rolls or slider buns
- 1/2 lb thinly sliced deli roast beef
- 6–8 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Start by slicing the entire block of slider rolls in half horizontally, creating a top half and a bottom half. Place the bottom half of the rolls onto a piece of parchment paper cut to fit your air fryer basket. Layer the roast beef evenly over the bottom rolls, then place the cheddar cheese slices on top of the beef to ensure every bite is cheesy. Place the top half of the rolls back on.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Whisk in the garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, dried parsley, and poppy seeds. Use a pastry brush to generously coat the tops of the slider rolls with this savory butter mixture. Make sure to get into the crevices so the flavor soaks into the bread.
- Carefully lift the parchment paper and place the sliders into the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Cook for 5 to 8 minutes. Check them at the 5-minute mark; you want the cheese to be fully melted and the tops of the buns to be golden brown and slightly toasted. If the tops are browning too quickly before the cheese melts, cover them loosely with a small piece of aluminum foil.
- Once the sliders are done, carefully remove them from the air fryer using the edges of the parchment paper. Let them sit for two minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly. Use a serrated knife to cut through the individual sliders and serve them warm while the cheese is still gooey.
