Ingredients You’ll Need
The magic of Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Roll-Ups with Low-Carb Tortillas is all in the way a few easy ingredients come together to create pizza perfection. Each component plays its role to bring just the right mix of comfort, crunch, and that classic, nostalgic pizza taste.
- 4 low-carb tortillas: These act as the crisp, delicious base—choose your favorite brand for the sturdiest and most flavorful roll-ups.
- ½ cup pizza sauce or marinara: Adds a savory, saucy kick to each bite—opt for a low-sugar version to keep things keto-friendly.
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese: Melts into glorious gooeyness for that irresistible pizza pull.
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese: Sprinkles on an extra punch of savory, nutty flavor that makes these roll-ups special.
- 24 slices pepperoni: Salty, smoky, and robust—thinly sliced for easy rolling and melty goodness.
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning: Brings herby, aromatic notes that scream “pizza night.”
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder: Adds a little savory depth and makes everything smell incredible while baking.
- Olive oil spray: Gives the tortillas that gorgeous, golden, crispy finish with minimal effort.
How to Make Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Roll-Ups with Low-Carb Tortillas
Step 1: Prep the Oven and Baking Sheet
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper—this ensures nothing sticks and makes cleanup a breeze. You’ll be ready to roll as soon as your ingredients are prepped and ready to go.
Step 2: Assemble the Roll-Ups
Lay out all the low-carb tortillas on the counter. Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce or marinara on each tortilla, making sure to leave a small border around the edges to avoid messy leaks. Sprinkle each tortilla evenly with shredded mozzarella and a touch of Parmesan, then lay six slices of pepperoni across each one. Finally, dust everything with the Italian seasoning and garlic powder for classic pizza flavor in every bite.
Step 3: Roll ‘Em Up
Carefully but firmly roll each tortilla up, starting from one edge and working your way to the other end so you get a tight log. This keeps all that cheesy, saucy goodness wrapped inside. Place each roll seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet—they’ll stay rolled while baking and crisp up beautifully.
Step 4: Spray and Bake
Lightly spritz the tops of your assembled roll-ups with olive oil spray. This lets the tortillas brown and crisp while the cheese melts inside. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the outsides are golden and crunchy and the insides are bubbling with melted cheese.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
Allow the Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Roll-Ups with Low-Carb Tortillas to cool just enough to handle, then slice into pinwheels or serve whole. Every roll-up should be packed with flavor and perfectly oozy when you bite in.
How to Serve Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Roll-Ups with Low-Carb Tortillas
Garnishes
For a fun, pizzaiolo-style finishing touch, sprinkle freshly chopped basil or parsley over your roll-ups, or add a pinch of extra Parmesan. A quick drizzle of garlic butter or a dash of red pepper flakes amps up the flavor and gives your platter a colorful, inviting look.
Side Dishes
Pair these roll-ups with a crisp Caesar salad, some roasted broccoli, or a fresh vegetable platter for a satisfying lunch or dinner. They also go great with extra marinara or light ranch dressing for dipping—perfect for picky eaters or a party spread.
Creative Ways to Present
For a party, slice the roll-ups into pinwheels and arrange them in a circle around a bowl of warm pizza sauce for dipping. You can also serve them whole with fun skewers for a grab-and-go appetizer or lunchbox treat. Even stack them up and sprinkle with extra mozzarella before giving a quick broil for some melted cheese action on top!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftover Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Roll-Ups with Low-Carb Tortillas in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They maintain their flavor and texture and are just as delicious as a quick snack on day two or three.
Freezing
If you want to make a batch ahead of time, simply wrap the unbaked or baked roll-ups individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They’ll keep their flavor and can be stored for up to a month. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating for best results.
Reheating
To get that perfect crispy crust back, pop your chilled or thawed roll-ups in the air fryer or oven at 350°F for a few minutes until they’re hot and melty. The microwave works in a pinch, but you’ll sacrifice a bit of crunch if you go that route.
FAQs
Can I use different meats in these roll-ups?
Absolutely! Feel free to swap the pepperoni with turkey pepperoni, cooked sausage crumbles, or even chopped cooked chicken for a different flavor profile that still stays low in carbs.
What kind of low-carb tortillas work best?
Look for sturdy, pliable tortillas that won’t crack when rolling. Brands like Mission, La Banderita, or homemade almond flour tortillas all work beautifully in this recipe.
Is it possible to make these roll-ups vegetarian?
Yes! Simply leave out the pepperoni or replace it with sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives. You’ll have a cheesy, flavorful vegetarian option everyone can enjoy.
Can I prepare Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Roll-Ups with Low-Carb Tortillas ahead for a party?
Definitely! These roll-ups can be assembled several hours in advance—just cover and refrigerate, then bake right before serving so they’re hot, golden, and absolutely irresistible.
How do I prevent the roll-ups from getting soggy?
Make sure to use a thick pizza sauce and don’t overload your tortillas with sauce. Baking seam-side down and serving right away also help keep them nice and crisp!
