Serving Suggestions
Of course, a dipping sauce! Try marinara sauce or this easy Homemade Pesto. These would be a great accompaniment to a perfectly simple dinner- try Air Fryer Chicken Breast, Blackened Pork Chops, or Pesto Chicken. If you’re bringing these for lunch, pack along some Bacon Cheeseburger Bites or Marinated Mozzarella Balls for some extra protein! Add a few Pumpkin Snickerdoodles or Keto Zucchini Bread for a sweet snack!
Tips for the Best Pepperoni Roll Ups
- Don’t skip the step of allowing these Keto Pizza Pinwheels to chill in the fridge. This will make them easier to slice.
- If you like a little more spice, add some crushed red pepper flakes to your marinara spread!
- To cut the carb count even more, use a cheese wrap instead of the tortilla and just leave out the mozzarella slices. This will also provide you with extra protein!
Is this Recipe Good for Keto Meal Prep?
Yes, these Keto Pizza Pinwheels are a great idea for keto meal prep! Prepare ahead of time and store in the fridge. I recommend storing in a plastic or glass container with an airtight lid. These roll-ups will stay fresh for up to five days. You don’t need to heat these up at all- just enjoy straight from the fridge!
Recipe
Ingredients
Marinara Cream Cheese Mixture
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 1/2 tablespoons marinara, low carb if keto
- 3 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Pizza Pinwheels
- 4 tortilla, low carb, gluten-free, or flavored work as well
- 16 large deli pepperoni
- 12 slices of mozzarella
Instructions
- Mix together your cream cheese, marinara sauce, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl, set aside.
- Lay one tortilla on a plate, then spread 1/4 of the marinara cream cheese mixture over 3/4 of the tortilla. Leave the top 1/4 bare as it will spread when we roll the tortilla.
- Place your deli pepperoni and mozzarella slices on the bottom 3/4ths of the tortilla.
- Starting at the bottom, carefully roll the tortilla upwards, making sure to keep the roll tight. With the seam-side down, secure with toothpicks.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes — This makes it easier to cut the pinwheels. Take out of fridge, cut into 1-inch slices, and serve! Optional: serve with marinara or pesto for dipping.
