pizza. sliders. the best of both worlds.
If you love pizza, and sliders, and appetizers that are handheld, then these Vegan Pull Apart Pizza Sliders are exactly what you need to make for the big game in a couple weeks! They’re cheesy, and savory, and doused in the most delicious herby garlic butter! Here’s what you need to make them:
herby garlic butter:
- vegan butter
- fresh parsley
- garlic: fresh garlic AND garlic powder
- red pepper flakes
sliders:
- vegan-friendly dinner rolls
- vegan cheese: I like to use shredded mozzarella, shredded parmesan, AND sliced provolone
- vegan pepperoni: 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 or ordered online through vegan grocery-delivery services. If you’re unable to find vegan pepperonis at the store, you can slice vegan sausage links very thinly, or make your own at home. I really love this recipe from Minimalist Baker using tofu! It’s so easy and really delicious!
