Low-Point Pizza Roll-ups (Weight Watchers)
Ingredients:
- 1 package reduced-fat crescent roll dough
(check the packaging for a lower-calorie option, usually around 90-100 calories per roll) - ½ cup pizza sauce (choose a lower-sugar option, around 30-40 calories per serving)
- 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
(approximately 280 calories for 1 cup) - Your favorite pizza toppings:
- Diced bell peppers (½ cup, 12 calories)
- Diced onions (¼ cup, 16 calories)
- 10 slices of turkey pepperoni (40 calories)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven according to the crescent roll package instructions (usually 375°F/190°C).
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a flat surface. Press the seams together gently to form one large rectangular sheet.
- Spread the sauce: Using a spoon or spatula, spread the pizza sauce evenly across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Add cheese and toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Then, add your preferred toppings like bell peppers, onions, and turkey pepperoni. Feel free to use veggies and lean proteins to keep it lower in points.
- Roll it up: Starting from one side, carefully roll the dough into a log. Once rolled, slice it into rounds about 1 inch thick.
- Bake: Place the roll-ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Cool and serve: Let them cool slightly before serving.
