Main Ingredients
- 4 low-carb tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 15 slices pepperoni
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
For Dipping
- ½ cup pasta sauce (warm)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Assemble Roll-Ups: Lay one low-carb tortilla flat on a clean surface. Evenly sprinkle approximately a quarter cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the tortilla, followed by about 3 to 4 slices of pepperoni. Repeat for each tortilla.
- Season and Roll: Sprinkle Italian seasoning evenly over the cheese and pepperoni on each tortilla. Starting from one edge, roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape to keep all fillings inside.
- Bake: Place each rolled tortilla seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to prevent unraveling. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Slice and Serve: Allow the roll-ups to cool slightly to avoid burns. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into pinwheels. Serve warm with the heated pasta sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper or garlic powder before rolling.
- Use gluten-free tortillas instead of low-carb if preferred, keeping in mind carb content may increase.
- The roll-ups can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving for convenience.
- Make sure to roll the tortillas tightly to prevent fillings from spilling during baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
