Short, Catchy Intro

So you are craving something tasty but too lazy to spend forever in the kitchen, huh? Same. These low calorie pizza rolls are the answer to late night snack attacks, rushed lunches, and the universal truth that sometimes frozen snacks just do not cut it. If you like playful mini meals that come together faster than you can decide what to watch next, you will love this.

If you want more roll-inspired chaos I once riffed on a muffuletta version that got weirdly popular muffuletta pizza rolls. Try it when you are feeling adventurous.

Why This Recipe is Awesome

It uses only three main ingredients per roll party. Minimal shopping, maximal satisfaction.
It is actually low calorie but still taste bud approved. No need to bribe anyone with extra cheese.
It is idiot proof. Seriously you will not mess this up unless you try to microwave a tortilla into a spiral pretzel thing.
It bakes fast so you will have actual food before your hangry monster shows up.
Great for meal prep, parties, or pretending you are a fancy snack chef.

Ingredients You’ll Need

5 Mission Zero Carb tortillas
2.5 string cheese sticks, cut in half
10 tbsp tomato sauce
15 slices turkey pepperoni
"I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter" spray
Oregano, to taste
Grated Parmesan cheese, to taste

Pro tip: if your scale is judgmental just eyeball it. The tortillas are the boss here.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 F (190 C).
On each tortilla, spread 2 tbsp tomato sauce, add 3 turkey pepperoni slices, and half a string cheese.
Roll tightly and place seam-side down on a baking sheet.
Lightly spray with butter spray and sprinkle with oregano and Parmesan.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until crispy and golden.

Tip: Make the rolls seam-side down so they do not unroll mid bake. You want tidy rolls not flattened corkscrews.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Thinking you do not need to preheat the oven. Rookie move. Preheat like your snack life depends on it.
Overstuffing a tortilla. If you try to cram too much cheese you will get a soggy mess or a burst roll. Nobody wants that.
Skipping the seam-down trick. I said it before and I will say it again. Put the seam down.
Using soggy sauce. If your sauce is watery pat it a little with a spoon or use less. Texture matters.
Setting bake time in stone. Ovens vary so check at 9 minutes if yours runs hot. Pull when edges look golden and crisp.

Alternatives & Substitutions

No Mission Zero Carb tortillas? Use low carb wraps or small whole wheat tortillas instead. They will still roll and taste great. IMO the mission tortillas keep it really low cal but swap away if needed.
No turkey pepperoni? Try thinly sliced roasted chicken, ham, or a few pepperoncini slices for tang.
Want extra garlic vibes? Spray with a little garlic oil or toss some garlic powder into the Parmesan. If you want cheesy butter decadence you might like these buttery cheese garlic rolls.
Dairy free? Use dairy free string cheese and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan. Texture will change but flavor can still be fun.
Want a meaty twist? Swap turkey pepperoni for a small amount of cooked ground beef or Italian sausage and hit it with extra oregano. If you like bold flavor try riffing off quick Asian rolls like these 20 minute Thai basil beef rolls for inspiration.

FAQ

Q Why use Mission Zero Carb tortillas instead of regular ones
A Do you want fewer carbs and fewer regrets? These tortillas keep calories low and make the roll feel lighter. But regular tortillas work too when you are in a pinch.

Q Can I make these ahead and reheat later
A Sure thing. Cool completely then store in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness. Microwave works but will be softer.

Q Can I freeze them for later
A Yup. Freeze on a tray first so they do not stick together. Transfer to a sealed bag. Reheat from frozen in the oven at 350 F until hot.

Q How do I make them crispier
A Bake a tad longer and give them space on the sheet. A hot oven and airflow are your friends. Broil for 30 seconds if you want extra char but watch closely.

Q Can kids help make these
A Totally. Kids can spread sauce and place pepperoni. They feel proud and you get extra hands. Win win.

Q Can I swap string cheese for shredded mozzarella
A You can. Using sticks makes rolling cleaner but shredded works if you keep it compact.

Q What sides go with these
A Salad, roasted veggies, or a simple fruit bowl keeps the meal balanced. FYI a cup of marinara for dipping is always a hit.
