How to Make Pizza Roll Ups
Step 1: Prep Your Wraps
Lay the wraps flat and lightly spray with oil. For keto versions, warm cheese wraps slightly so they roll easily.
Step 2: Add the Sauce
Spread a thin layer of marinara across each wrap. Keep it light to prevent sogginess.
Step 3: Layer the Toppings
Sprinkle mozzarella, add pepperoni or veg, and season with Italian herbs.
Step 4: Roll & Slice
Tightly roll each wrap into a log. Slice into 1–1.5 inch pieces to form spirals.
Step 5: Bake
Place spirals cut-side up on a lined tray. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
Step 6: Serve
Serve warm with extra marinara or a yogurt-based dip.
Storage & Serving Suggestions
- Refrigeration: Store up to 3 days in an airtight container.
- Freezer: Freeze unbaked roll ups; bake straight from frozen.
- Reheat: Air fryer 3–4 minutes for maximum crispiness.
