Ingredients
Scale
- 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)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
1. Prepare the Tortillas:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly brush both sides of each low-carb tortilla with olive oil or melted butter to help them crisp up in the oven.
2. Assemble the Roll-Ups:
- Lay one tortilla flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Place the sliced pepperoni on top of the cheese.
- Optional: Sprinkle with Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
3. Roll and Slice:
- Carefully roll the tortilla tightly from one edge to the other, making sure to keep the filling inside.
- Once rolled, slice the tortilla into 1-inch thick pinwheels (you should get about 6-8 roll-ups per tortilla).
4. Bake:
- Place the sliced roll-ups on a baking sheet, cut side up.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the tortillas are crispy on the outside.
5. Garnish and Serve:
- Optional: After baking, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the roll-ups for added flavor.
- Serve warm with extra pizza sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
