Ingredients
Pizza Roll-Ups
8 high-protein flour tortillas (6-inch)
8 reduced-fat mozzarella cheese sticks
48 slices lean turkey pepperoni (6 slices per tortilla)
½ cup low-sugar pizza sauce
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Pizza Seasoning
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Garlic Butter Topping
1 tbsp melted light butter
1 tsp olive oil
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp Italian seasoning
For Serving
Warm marinara or pizza sauce
Fresh basil
Fresh parsley
Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Tortillas
Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface.
Spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce over each tortilla, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle lightly with Parmesan cheese and a pinch of the pizza seasoning.
Step 2: Add the Fillings
Arrange 6 slices of turkey pepperoni in a single row across the center of each tortilla.
Place 1 mozzarella cheese stick on top of the pepperoni, matching the arrangement shown in the picture.
Step 3: Roll
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward.
Roll tightly from the bottom to form a compact pizza roll-up.
Place seam-side down.
Step 4: Brush
Mix together:
Melted butter
Olive oil
Garlic powder
Italian seasoning
Brush each roll-up lightly with the mixture.
Step 5: Air Fry
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
Arrange the roll-ups seam-side down in a single layer.
Air fry for 8–10 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking, until the tortillas are crisp and golden and the cheese is melted.
Step 6: Serve
Let the roll-ups cool for 2–3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
Garnish with Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley if desired.

Storage
Refrigerator: Store cooled roll-ups in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Tips to Match the Picture
Use 6-inch high-protein tortillas so the roll-ups stay compact and evenly shaped.
Place the pepperoni slices in a straight line with a whole mozzarella cheese stick on top, just like in the picture.
Roll the tortillas tightly to keep the cheese from leaking during cooking.
Air fry seam-side down until the tortillas are evenly browned and crisp.
Allow the roll-ups to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing or serving to achieve the gooey cheese pull shown in the picture.
