Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. I often prep the roll ups in the morning, wrap them, and refrigerate. Finish them on the skillet or in the oven just before dinner so they stay crisp.

Can I use pre-shredded cheese?

You can, but I recommend freshly shredded mozzarella for a better melt and less gumminess. Fresh shredding takes an extra minute and it’s worth it.

Is there a gluten-free option?

Absolutely. Use gluten-free tortillas or large collard leaves. You can also try gluten-free flatbreads. If you freeze, make sure the wrap you choose freezes well too.

What dipping sauces go best with these?

Classic marinara is perfect. Ranch and garlic aioli are also crowd-pleasers. For a twist, try a little pesto or spicy honey.

How can I make these healthier?

Use low-sodium marinara, leaner pepperoni or turkey pepperoni, and whole-wheat or low-carb tortillas. Add a layer of spinach or thinly sliced vegetables for extra fiber and vitamins.

Instructions

Lay one low-carb tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon two tablespoons of marinara sauce onto the center. Spread the sauce evenly, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle half a cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Place five slices of pepperoni in a single layer over the cheese.
Begin at one edge and roll the tortilla tightly but gently, tucking the seam underneath.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas.
Brush the exterior of each roll up with olive oil.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook the roll ups seam-side down for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden and crisp.
Alternatively, arrange the roll ups on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 10 to 12 minutes.
Transfer to a cooling rack for 2 minutes then slice and serve immediately with extra marinara for dipping.

Notes

Use fresh basil for added flavor, and feel free to adjust the filling for vegetarian or healthier options.
