How to Make Savory Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Roll Ups
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Low-Carb Tortillas (Use Mission’s carb-smart tortillas for the best results)
- 8 tablespoons Marinara Sauce (Spread evenly on each tortilla)
- 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (Freshly shredded melts beautifully)
- 20 slices Pepperoni (Opt for less oily or hot pepperoni)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (For brushing the exterior)
Directions
Prepare the Tortillas: Start by laying out the low-carb tortillas on a clean surface.
Spread the Sauce: Evenly spread 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce on each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each tortilla.
Layer the Pepperoni: Place five slices of pepperoni on top of the cheese for each tortilla.
Roll Them Up: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly, starting from one end to the other.
Brush with Olive Oil: Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush the outside of each roll with olive oil.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the roll-ups for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Slice and Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice into bite-sized pieces.

Tips to Make Savory Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Roll Ups
- Make sure not to overfill the tortillas to prevent them from bursting while baking.
- Experiment with different toppings like bell peppers, olives, or cooked sausage to customize your roll-ups.
- If you prefer a crunchier texture, bake them a few minutes longer.
Variation
If you’re looking for a healthier option, try using whole grain tortillas or skipping the pepperoni entirely. You can fill them with veggies like spinach and mushrooms for a vegetarian twist.
FAQs
Can I use different cheese?
Yes, you can use any cheese you like! Cheddar or a blend of Italian cheeses will work well.
Can I make these in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the roll-ups ahead of time, store them in the fridge, and bake them right before serving.
What if I don’t have marinara sauce?
Pizza sauce, Alfredo sauce, or even pesto can be great substitutes for marinara sauce!
