Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 4 low-carb tortillas (such as almond flour or coconut flour tortillas)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce (low-carb if desired)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for brushing)
Optional Seasonings and Garnishes
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Tortillas: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the roll-ups.
- Brush the Tortillas: Lightly brush both sides of each low-carb tortilla with olive oil or melted butter; this step helps achieve a crispy texture once baked.
- Assemble the Roll-Up: Lay one tortilla flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Add the Sauce: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow when rolling.
- Layer the Cheese: Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce to ensure every bite is cheesy.
- Add Pepperoni: Place sliced pepperoni evenly on top of the cheese for a classic pizza flavor.
- Season (Optional): Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the toppings if desired for enhanced herbal flavor.
- Roll the Tortilla: Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one edge to the other, making sure to keep the filling contained inside.
- Slice the Roll-Ups: Slice the rolled tortilla into 1-inch thick pinwheels; you should get about 6 to 8 pieces per tortilla.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the sliced roll-ups on a baking sheet with the cut side up to showcase the spiral layers and cook evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and tortillas become crispy on the outside.
- Garnish (Optional): After baking, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the roll-ups for added sharpness and flavor.
- Serve Warm: Serve the roll-ups warm with extra pizza sauce or ranch dressing for dipping to complement the savory notes.
Notes
- Use low-carb tortillas such as almond or coconut flour-based to keep this recipe keto-friendly.
- For crispier roll-ups, brush the tortillas with olive oil instead of butter.
- Feel free to add other pizza toppings like sliced olives, bell peppers, or mushrooms before rolling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
- These roll-ups make a great party snack or quick lunch option.
