Storage and reheating tips
Want to save some of those delicious rollups for later? To keep your leftovers fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Helpful cooking tips
For an extra burst of flavor, consider mixing some minced garlic into your olive oil before brushing the rollups. If you love a bit of heat, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the cheese before rolling. Don’t shy away from experimenting with different sauces—pesto or Alfredo could be excellent alternatives to pizza sauce!
