Description

Low-Calorie Pizza Rolls are a quick, easy, and healthy snack bursting with classic pizza flavors wrapped in a light, crispy whole wheat tortilla. Perfect for busy days or guilt-free parties, these rolls combine melty low-fat mozzarella, zesty marinara, and lean turkey pepperoni for a satisfying bite without the extra calories.


Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 4 whole wheat tortillas

Fillings

  • 1 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 20 slices turkey pepperoni
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

To Prepare

  • Cooking spray, as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace: Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Assemble the rolls: Lay a whole wheat tortilla flat on your workspace. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Add the toppings: Sprinkle shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by turkey pepperoni slices. Finish with a pinch of Italian seasoning for an authentic pizza flavor.
  4. Roll it up tightly: Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape. Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
  5. Bake until crispy: Place the pizza rolls cut-side up on the baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to help crisp them up. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh mozzarella and homemade marinara will elevate your rolls’ flavor even more.
  • Don’t overload fillings: Keep toppings thin to ensure the rolls stay compact and crisp up well.
  • Let rolls cool slightly: Allow a few minutes to set after baking, so fillings don’t spill out when eating.
  • Even slicing: Use a very sharp knife or a pizza cutter for clean slices that hold together better.
  • Try an air fryer: For extra crispiness, air fry your rolls at 375°F for about 8-10 minutes.
