1. Preheat Your Oven and Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Start by preheating your oven to the temperature specified on the sourdough dinner roll package (usually around 375 F (190 C)). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking. This ensures easy cleanup and perfectly browned bottoms.

2. Arrange the Sourdough Rolls: Carefully open the can of refrigerated sourdough dinner rolls. Separate the individual rolls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one to allow them to expand as they bake.

3. Prepare the Garlic Butter Topping: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. This should take about 30-60 seconds in the microwave, or you can melt it gently on the stovetop. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic. If using, add the chopped fresh parsley and a pinch of sea salt to the butter mixture.

4. Brush the Rolls with Garlic Butter: Before baking, generously brush the tops and sides of each sourdough roll with the prepared garlic butter mixture. Don’t be shy – this is where all that delicious flavor comes from!

5. Bake Until Golden Brown: Place the baking sheet with the brushed rolls into the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are beautifully golden brown on top and cooked through. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes, as oven temperatures can vary.

6. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven. For an extra touch, you can brush them with any remaining garlic butter from the bowl. Serve them immediately while they are still warm and fragrant.
