Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment paper with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Mix Cheeses and Spices: In a bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
- Form Cheese Layers: Spread the cheese mixture evenly onto the parchment paper, forming a thin layer about 1/8 inch thick. You might want to do this in two batches if your baking sheet isn’t large enough.
- Bake the Cheese Layer: Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown.
- Add Pepperoni: Remove from the oven and immediately layer the pepperoni slices over the melted cheese. Make sure to cover the cheese with the pepperoni.
- Bake Again: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, just until the pepperoni starts to crisp up slightly and the cheese is bubbly.
- Cool and Slice: Let the cheesy layer cool for about 2 minutes. Carefully lift the parchment paper and cheese layer off the baking sheet and transfer to a cutting board. Slice into strips or rolls.
- Roll and Serve: Roll the strips up tightly, using the parchment paper as a guide if needed. Arrange the rolls on a plate.
- Optional – Serve with Marinara Sauce: For an extra touch, you can serve these rolls with a side of homemade keto marinara sauce for dipping.
Tips:
- Texture Variation: If you like a crunchier texture, you can bake the cheese layer a bit longer before adding the pepperoni.
- Flavor Boost: Add a sprinkle of fresh basil or extra oregano on top before baking for more flavor.
Enjoy your keto-friendly pizza rolls! They’re great as a snack, appetizer, or even a light meal.
