Step-by-step instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, mix the shredded mozzarella cheese with the sliced pepperoni and Italian seasoning.
- Grab a tortilla and spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture.
- Add a drizzle of pizza sauce on top of the cheese.
- Roll the tortilla tightly to encase the filling. Repeat this step with the remaining tortillas.
- Arrange the rollups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush a bit of olive oil over each rollup to enhance that golden color.
- Bake them for about 15-20 minutes until they’re beautifully golden brown.
- Serve them warm, paired with extra pizza sauce for dipping!
Best ways to enjoy it
These Pepperoni Pizza Rollups can stand alone as a fantastic snack, but you can elevate your dining experience with a few side dishes. A fresh garden salad or some crunchy vegetable sticks would balance the richness of the rollups. For an authentic Italian feel, serve them alongside garlic bread or a side of antipasto.
Storage and reheating tips
If you happen to have leftovers (which is unlikely!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or microwave them for a quick snack. If you want to save them longer, freeze the unbaked rollups. Just layer them between parchment paper in a freezer-safe bag, and they can keep for up to a month.
Helpful cooking tips
To take your rollups to the next level, consider adding a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat, or a dash of garlic powder for more flavor. For a vegetarian option, replace pepperoni with your favorite veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms.
Creative twists
Experimenting with flavors can lead to some exciting variations. Try using different cheeses such as pepper jack or gouda for a smokier taste. You could also change the sauce and use pesto for a fresh taste or add some sautéed onions for extra texture. The possibilities are truly endless!
