Easy and savory snack featuring pepperoni, cheese, and crescent roll dough baked to golden crispiness. Perfect for game day or quick cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package crescent roll dough (typically 8 rolls)
  • About 24 pepperoni slices
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Optional: marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Gently press the perforations together to form one large rectangle about 9×12 inches.
  3. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and garlic powder evenly over the dough.
  4. Layer the pepperoni slices evenly across the dough, leaving a small border at the edges.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pepperoni.
  6. Starting at the long edge, carefully roll the dough up tightly but not too tight to squeeze out the filling. Pinch the seam to seal and tuck the ends underneath.
  7. Cut the roll into 8 equal pieces using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  8. Place the roll-ups cut-side up on your prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  9. Brush the tops generously with melted butter.
  10. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over each roll-up.
  11. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until roll-ups are puffed, golden, and the cheese is bubbling.
  12. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes on a cooling rack before serving.

Notes

Press dough seams firmly to prevent filling leaks. Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting. Brush melted butter generously for a golden, crispy crust. Watch baking time closely to avoid burning. Let roll-ups cool briefly before serving to set cheese.
