These Low-Calorie Pizza Rolls are a quick, easy, and guilt-free snack that delivers all the classic pizza flavors in a light, crispy roll. Featuring whole wheat tortillas, part-skim mozzarella, lean protein, and low-sodium marinara, this recipe is perfect for busy days or last-minute cravings while keeping calories and fat in check.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • Whole wheat tortillas (4 large)
  • Part-skim mozzarella cheese (1 cup, shredded)
  • Low-sodium marinara sauce (1/2 cup)
  • Turkey pepperoni or lean ham slices (1/2 cup, thinly sliced)
  • Italian seasoning (1 teaspoon)

Optional Veggies

  • Fresh spinach leaves (1/2 cup, chopped)
  • Bell peppers (1/2 cup, finely diced)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients on the counter. Lay out the whole wheat tortillas flat. Grate or shred the part-skim mozzarella cheese if not pre-shredded. Chop any optional veggies such as spinach or bell peppers.
  2. Assemble the Rolls: Spread a thin, even layer of low-sodium marinara sauce over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edge to prevent spilling. Sprinkle Italian seasoning evenly over the sauce. Add a layer of shredded mozzarella, then evenly distribute turkey pepperoni or lean ham slices, along with any optional veggies you are using.
  3. Roll It Up Tight: Starting from one edge, carefully roll each tortilla into a tight cylinder, ensuring the filling stays inside. Seal the edge by dabbing a little marinara sauce or cheese to prevent unraveling during cooking.
  4. Cook to Crispy Perfection: Choose one cooking method: Bake the rolls at 375°F (190°C) on a parchment-lined baking tray for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway for even crispiness; or air-fry them at 370°F (188°C) for 10-15 minutes until golden and crunchy with melty cheese inside.

Notes

  • Use whole wheat tortillas for extra fiber and a satisfying crunch.
  • Do not overfill the rolls to avoid sogginess and ensure even cooking.
  • Seal edges well with marinara or cheese to prevent leakage during cooking.
  • Preheat oven or air fryer before cooking for best results.
  • Serve pizza rolls warm for optimal melty texture and flavor.
