Instructions

Preheat Oven (5 minutes): Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare Rolls (5 minutes): Slice the Hawaiian sweet rolls in half horizontally to create a top and bottom layer. Place the bottom half of the rolls in a greased baking dish.
Layer Roast Beef and Cheese (5 minutes): Spread a layer of horseradish sauce over one half of the rolls. Then, layer the thinly sliced roast beef and top with halved cheese slices.
Add Greens (2 minutes): Place a layer of arugula or baby spinach leaves over the cheese.
Top and Season (3 minutes): Place the top half of the rolls onto the sliders. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with optional garlic powder and onion powder. Brush this mixture over the top of the rolls. Optionally, sprinkle poppy seeds on top for extra flavor and texture.
Bake (15-20 minutes): Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops of the rolls are lightly browned.
Serve (5 minutes): Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, then cut into individual sliders.

Notes

For the best results, use high-quality roast beef and adjust the amount of horseradish sauce to your taste preference.

The buttery topping adds a nice finish to the sweet rolls, making them slightly crispy on top. Feel free to add your favorite fixings such as griddled onions or pickles.

These sliders are great for serving at parties as they are easy to eat and can be made in advance.

If eating at home, serve with your favorite sides such as sweet potato fries or cauliflower tots for a complete meal. Enjoy!

Fried Pickles

Start by grabbing a jar of your favorite pickles and slice them into coin shapes. Get 'em on some paper towels to blot out the excess moisture – the drier, the crispier they'll get. In one bowl, whisk up some eggs, and in another, mix together flour or breadcrumbs with seasonings like paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of cayenne if you're feeling spicy. Dip each pickle coin into the egg, then into the dry mix, making sure it's well coated. Heat some oil in a skillet until it's shimmering but not smoking. Carefully slide those coated pickles in and fry until they're golden and crispy. It's usually quick, so keep an eye out! Scoop them out, let them rest on a paper towel to get rid of any excess oil, and serve with a dipping sauce.

Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges

Begin by preheating your oven and grabbing some sweet potatoes. After washing and drying them, slice each potato lengthwise into wedge shapes. In a large bowl, toss these wedges with a bit of olive oil, ensuring they're well-coated. Season with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you fancy – a sprinkle of paprika or cinnamon can be a nice touch. Spread them out on a baking sheet, ensuring they're not crowded to achieve that perfect roast. Bake until they're golden and slightly crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside.

Cauliflower Tots

Start by steaming cauliflower florets until they're tender. Once cooled, pulse them in a food processor until they're rice-like but not pureed. In a bowl, combine the riced cauliflower, breadcrumbs, grated cheese (like cheddar or Parmesan), an egg, and some salt and pepper for seasoning. Mix it all together until it forms a moldable mixture. Shape them into tots using your hands. Now, heat a skillet with a bit of oil and pan-fry the tots until they're golden brown on all sides, or you can bake them at 400°F (200°C) for around 20 minutes. Once they're crispy and golden, serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
