Description
Delicious and kid-friendly pizza roll ups that transform classic pizza flavors into fun finger food. These easy-to-make rolls feature tortillas stuffed with gooey cheese, pepperoni, and pizza sauce, all baked to crispy perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 20 small tortillas (about 5-inches wide)
- 14 oz pizza sauce
- 24 oz mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 80 slices pepperoni
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- Garlic Herb Topping
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a large baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking. This ensures your pizza roll ups won’t stick to the pan during baking and makes cleanup easier.
- Assemble the Roll Ups: Lay each tortilla flat and top with 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce, spreading it evenly but leaving a small border around the edge. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then arrange 4 pepperoni slices on top of the cheese layer.
- Roll Them Up: Starting from one edge, tightly roll up each tortilla to create a compact cylinder. The tighter you roll, the better they’ll hold together during baking. Place each roll seam-side down in the prepared baking pan.
- Add Oil and Seasoning: Brush the tops of the roll ups with cooking oil for a crispy finish. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt, then evenly sprinkle this herb mixture over the oiled roll ups to enhance flavor.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese inside has melted completely and the tortillas have turned slightly golden and crispy around the edges.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute pepperoni with sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives.
- These roll ups can be made ahead of time and refrigerated before baking. Just add 2-3 minutes to the baking time if cooking from cold.
- Try dipping these in additional warm pizza sauce or ranch dressing for extra flavor.
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to the herb mixture or include hot pepperoni.
