Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) olive oil
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Warm tortillas for 10-15 seconds to make them pliable and prevent cracking during rolling.
- Lay each tortilla flat on a clean work surface and spread a thin layer of marinara sauce across the entire surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the marinara sauce, ensuring complete surface coverage.
- Distribute pepperoni slices in a single layer across the cheese, keeping them close together but not overlapping.
- Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one edge to the other, creating a compact cylindrical shape, pressing gently to seal the edge.
- Position the rolled tortillas seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch each other.
- Brush the exterior of each roll-up with olive oil and dust with dried oregano for additional flavor.
- Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tortillas turn golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing each roll diagonally into bite-sized pieces.
- Garnish with fresh chopped basil and serve immediately with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Swap low-carb tortillas with regular tortillas if dietary restrictions aren’t a concern, maintaining the same delicious flavor profile.
- Prevent soggy roll-ups by patting pepperoni and cheese dry before assembling to reduce excess moisture during baking.
- Enhance crispy texture by briefly toasting tortillas in a dry skillet before adding fillings, creating a delightful golden exterior.
- Experiment with alternative cheese varieties like mozzarella, provolone, or pepper jack to customize flavor intensity and meltability.
