Deliciously cheesy pepperoni pizza roll-ups that are perfect for snacks or appetizers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1⁄2 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1⁄2 cup marinara or pizza sauce
- 1⁄4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- Optional: Red pepper flakes for a bit of heat
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Roll out the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles along the perforations.
- Spread a tablespoon of marinara or pizza sauce onto each triangle, leaving some space along the edges to prevent overflow.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each triangle.
- Place 4-5 slices of pepperoni on top of the cheese on each triangle.
- Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning on top of the pepperoni for added flavor.
- Starting from the wide end, carefully roll up each triangle towards the narrower end to form a roll-up.
- Place each roll-up seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the roll-ups with melted butter, ensuring even coating.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each roll-up for extra cheesiness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve with additional marinara or pizza sauce on the side for dipping, and enjoy!
Notes
- Feel free to customize with your favorite pizza toppings.
