Best ways to enjoy it
These pizza rolls are perfect on their own but pair beautifully with a fresh garden salad or a side of marinara sauce for dipping. You could also serve them alongside some roasted vegetables or even a hearty soup for a complete meal. For a cozy night, consider pairing them with a glass of white wine or a refreshing iced tea.
Storage and reheating tips
To keep your leftovers fresh, store the pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you need to freeze them, wrap each roll in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or pop them in the microwave for a quick fix.
Helpful cooking tips
- For an extra boost of flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice to the garlic butter mixture.
- If you love spicy food, increase the red pepper flakes to kick it up a notch.
- To save time, use store-bought rotisserie chicken for a quicker prep.
Creative twists
Feeling adventurous? You could switch up the flavors by adding toppings like jalapeños, bell peppers, or even BBQ sauce instead of Alfredo for a smoky twist. Try different cheese combinations too—substituting cheddar or adding goat cheese can open a whole new world of flavors. For a light version, using whole wheat pizza dough can also be a delightful change.
