Make
- Heat oven to 400F / 204C. Set out a sheet pan and a square baking dish (if making more than 4 servings, use a large rectangular dish).
- Whisk together oil, garlic powder, salt, and sesame seeds. Toss with carrots and sugar snap peas. Spread out on the sheet pan.
- Transfer to the oven and roast, shaking the pan halfway through cooking, until carrots are tender, 10 to 14 minutes.
- While vegetables roast, spread the bottom halves of slider buns out in the baking dish. Spread with mayo / mustard dressing. Top each slider with ham, cheese (tear into small pieces to fit on sliders), and then top halves of buns.
- Melt butter in the microwave. Stir in poppy seeds (if using) and pour over buns. Cover tightly with foil.
- Bake sliders, covered, for 8 minutes.
- Remove foil cover and bake until golden brown on top, ~1 minute more.
- Serve sliders with vegetables on the side. Enjoy!

Super quick and easy on a busy night and the kids loved it. I just brushed the tops of the buns with butter <Tbsp and 15 minutes for everything. Added pickle slices to the sandwiches and a smoothie on the side.
0 HelpfulWe did the sandwiches with carrot sticks and cottage cheese. Quick and easy meal for a busy night.
0 HelpfulThis was easy to make and everyone loved it. The side veggies were so simple, but so good! Agree that cooking a little longer would probably have been better since the bottom bun was a bit soggy. I had 2 sliders left over that reheated nicely in the toaster oven.
0 HelpfulVery quick and easy to make. Not the healthiest recipe but fine to have one in a while. Everyone found it very tasty. I cooked for the amount of time given and cheese was nicely melted, however I used grated cheddar cheese not Swiss.
