Ingredients
Scale
Roll-Ups
- 8 low-carb tortillas
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce, plus extra for dipping
- 20-24 slices pepperoni
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Flour, for dusting (optional, if using dough as alternative)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even and crisp baking of the roll-ups.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Lay out the low-carb tortillas on a clean surface for assembling the roll-ups.
- Add the Filling: Spread a thin, even layer of marinara sauce over each tortilla, leaving about 1 inch around the edges free. Then, layer the pepperoni slices evenly and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Roll It Up: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly like a log, making sure to tuck the edges inside to keep the filling from spilling out while baking.
- Slice the Roll-Ups: Using a sharp knife, cut each rolled tortilla into 1-inch sections to create small pinwheel-shaped pieces. Place the pinwheels on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake the roll-ups in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until they are golden brown, the cheese is melted, and the edges are crisp. For extra crispiness, bake for a few additional minutes if desired.
- Serve with Extra Sauce: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Serve warm with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- If low-carb tortillas are unavailable, thin pizza dough can be used and rolled out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Ensure the edges are tucked while rolling to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- These roll-ups can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven for best texture.
- Customize with additional toppings like sliced olives or bell peppers if desired.
