Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 ounces refrigerated store-bought crescent rolls (8 count)
- 32 slices pepperoni
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pizza sauce, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Fill Crescents: Open the can of crescent rolls and separate the dough into 8 triangles. Place the triangles onto the prepared baking sheet. Place 4 pieces of pepperoni slices at the wider end of each triangle crescent. Sprinkle some shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the pepperoni.
- Roll Crescents: Starting from the wide end of the triangle, carefully roll the dough toward the smaller tip of the crescent, making sure to tuck in any cheese that may spill out. Place each crescent roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush and Season: Brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil and sprinkle the Italian seasoning, parsley, and garlic powder onto the top of each of the crescent pizza rolls.
- Bake: Cook for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the pizza rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving with warm pizza sauce, on the side, for dipping (optional).
Notes
- Olive Oil: Use ‘light tasting’ extra-virgin olive oil, but any neutral-flavored oil will work well – avocado oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil.
- Serving Size Tip: This recipe easily doubles! Use as much or as little pepperoni as you prefer.
- Variations: You can add other toppings to your pizza rolls, such as mushrooms, onions, or olives.
- Storage: Store leftover pizza rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer until warmed through.
