Ingredients
For Garlic Butter
- 8 tablespoons butter unsalted and melted
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
For Meatballs
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- ¾ cup breadcrumbs I used Panko
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- ½ cup parsley chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
For Rolls
- 12 dinner rolls
- 1 cup marinara sauce I used store bought
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a small bowl whisk together all the garlic butter ingredients.
- Using a sharp knife, cut holes in the top of each dinner roll, big enough to stuff a big meatball in it. Using a pastry brush, generously brush some of the garlic butter inside the rolls. Place the rolls on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Bake the rolls for 10 minutes or until they just start to brown and crisp up.
- In a large bowl combine all the meatball ingredients together and shape the meat mixture into 12 equal size meatballs.
- Spray the air fryer basket with a bit of cooking spray. Place the meatballs into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Spray the meatballs as well with a bit of cooking spray. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes or until the center of the meatball reaches 165°F degrees.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce into each dinner roll, then place a meatball inside each roll. Spoon another tablespoon or so of marinara sauce over each meatball then sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the rolls.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 10 minutes until the cheese melts and is bubbly. Garnish the sliders with parsley, and red pepper flakes.
- Serve warm.

Notes
- These meatball sliders are best enjoyed while fresh but you could store them in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days in an airtight container.
- You can also freeze them for up to 3 months. To reheat, you can place them on a baking sheet, straight from the oven and bake them at 350°F (176°C) for about 20 to 30 minutes or until heated through.
- These meatballs are also great with ground turkey, beef or pork.
