At Sweet C’s, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe. My goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.

How To Make Garlic Butter Rolls
First assemble the following ingredients:
- 8 frozen grands rolls
- 6 tbsp butter
- 6 cloves garlic, finely diced
- 1 green onions, finely diced
- 3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions, optional, garnish
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley, optional, garnish
Use this Method
Arrange. In a skillet lined with parchment paper, arrange rolls so they are together in the pan, touching as closely as possible.
Make Glaze. In a small pan on the stove, melt butter and add garlic, parsley, and green onions. Cook until garlic is fragrant and soft, about 4 minutes. Set aside
Bake. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls in the oven for 15 minutes.
Top and Finish. Using a silicone brush, brush tops of biscuits as they bake with garlic butter mixture. I brush rolls 3-4 times as they cook, to really let the buttery flavor sink in. Sprinkle parmesan on top of rolls every time you baste rolls – just a tiny bit will do. When rolls are browned on sides and turning golden brown on top, they are done. Remove from oven, serve immediately, and enjoy!
Tips and Tricks for Perfect Cheesy Butter Rolls
Keep rolls very close together in the pan. This will help to catch and absorb all the melted butter you use, preventing spills and burns in your pan.
Baste rolls slowly. You want to only add a little garlic butter sauce to each roll at a time – or they will get oily, soggy, and greasy.
Don’t Overdo it. Just a little bit, over and over, does the trick – don’t flood your rolls with tons of garlic butter all at once.
Use Pre-made Rolls. While you can use any recipe you like for these rolls, I have designed this recipe to be used with pre-made frozen biscuit rolls for to-die-for delicious and super easy garlic parmesan biscuits everyone will beg for.
