Can I assemble these ahead of time for a party?

Yes absolutely. Assemble the roll ups completely, place them seam side down on the lined baking sheet, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. When ready to serve, remove from the refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before baking at 375°F for 10 to 12 minutes as directed. Assembling ahead means the only thing left to do when guests arrive is slide the pan into the oven.

Why did my cheese ooze out during baking?

The two most common reasons are overfilling with too much cheese and not leaving the half-inch border around the edges before rolling. A quarter cup of mozzarella per tortilla is the right amount. More than this and the melting cheese has nowhere to go but out the ends and sides. Leaving the half-inch border creates a sealed edge that holds the cheese inside during baking. Any small amount of cheese that does escape will crisp into golden delicious bits on the parchment.

Can I make these in an air fryer instead of the oven?

Yes and the air fryer actually produces an even crispier result than the oven. Cook at 375°F for 6 to 8 minutes, checking at the 6-minute mark. The air fryer circulates heat all around the roll ups simultaneously which gives you a more evenly golden and crispy exterior than the oven can achieve. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer basket.

Ingredients

Scale

4 Low-Carb Tortillas

1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese about 1/4 cup per tortilla

20 slices Pepperoni 5 per tortilla

1/4 cup Marinara Sauce warmed for dipping

Optional: 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning

Optional: pinch of Garlic Powder

Optional: Grated Parmesan for sprinkling

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. If tortillas feel stiff, microwave stacked under a damp paper towel for 10 seconds until warm and flexible.

3. Lay all 4 tortillas flat on a clean work surface.

4. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella evenly over each tortilla leaving a 1/2-inch border on all edges.

5. Arrange 5 pepperoni slices in an overlapping layer over the cheese on each tortilla.

6. Sprinkle optional Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or Parmesan over the pepperoni if using.

7. Starting at one edge, roll each tortilla tightly and firmly into a compact log.

8. Place each roll seam side down on the prepared baking sheet spacing about 1 inch apart.

9. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until golden, lightly toasted, and cheese is bubbling at the ends.

10. Cool on the pan 2 minutes before slicing into 1-inch pieces with a sharp knife.

11. Arrange on a platter alongside warm marinara sauce and serve immediately.

Notes

Always place rolls seam side down and do not move during baking.

Leave a 1/2-inch border of filling-free tortilla to prevent cheese from escaping.

Use 1/4 cup cheese per tortilla only. More will cause overflow.

Warm stiff tortillas briefly before rolling to prevent cracking.

Assemble up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate covered until ready to bake.
