## Instructions

1. **Preheat oven.** Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. **Make the roasted red pepper spread.** In a food processor or blender, mix together all ingredients until a paste forms. Set aside.

3. **Assemble the sliders.** Slice slider buns in half and place bottom half on a baking sheet or casserole dish. Spread the roasted red pepper mixture on the bottom half of the buns and layer with ham, salami, pepperoni, and provolone cheese. Place the tops of the slider buns on top.

4. **Add butter topping.** In a small bowl, mix together melted butter and Italian seasoning and brush over top of the buns until completely coated.

5. **Bake.** Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and place back in the oven for an additional 10 to 12 minutes, until sliders are golden and cheese is melted.

6. **Serve.** Remove from oven and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
