Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Whole wheat tortillas, enough for desired number of rolls
- Low-fat mozzarella cheese, approximately 1 cup shredded
- Marinara sauce, about 1/2 cup
- Turkey pepperoni or lean ham, around 1/2 cup sliced
- Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon
- Olive oil spray, as needed for crisping
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Gather whole wheat tortillas, low-fat mozzarella cheese, marinara sauce, and your choice of turkey pepperoni or vegetables. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Assemble the rolls: Lay each tortilla flat and spread a thin layer of marinara sauce, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle a light layer of cheese, followed by turkey pepperoni or your chosen filling, and a pinch of Italian seasoning.
- Roll and seal: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one edge to the other, then slice the roll into bite-sized pieces roughly 1 to 1.5 inches wide.
- Bake to perfection: Place the pizza rolls cut side down on the baking sheet. Lightly mist with olive oil spray to promote crispiness. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the outside is golden brown and crunchy.
- Cool and serve: Allow a few minutes to cool so the cheese sets slightly. Serve warm with extra marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Don’t overfill the rolls to prevent sogginess and maintain shape.
- Use a sharp knife to make clean, precise cuts.
- Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for even browning.
- Try air frying at 375°F for 8-10 minutes for extra crispiness.
- Prepare and slice rolls ahead of time to save time on busy days.
