Can I prepare cheesy pepperoni pizza roll-ups in advance?

Yes, you can prepare the roll-ups a day ahead and store them tightly wrapped in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, increase the baking time by a few minutes to ensure they cook through. Preparing ahead can enhance flavors as they meld overnight.

What is the best technique to prevent soggy pizza roll-ups?

To keep roll-ups crispy, spread cheese before adding the sauce as a moisture barrier, use room temperature tortillas, and bake seam-side down. Avoid overusing sauce and consider brushing the outside with olive oil before baking for extra crispness.

Can I substitute with flour tortillas for my roll-ups?

Flour tortillas can be used but will have a different texture and higher carb content than low-carb tortillas. They tend to be softer and less crispy. If using flour tortillas, try warming them before rolling and bake slightly longer for a crisper finish.

Are cheesy pepperoni pizza roll-ups freezer-friendly?

Yes, these roll-ups freeze well. Flash freeze them on a baking sheet first to prevent sticking, then store in an airtight container. Reheat straight from frozen in a preheated oven to retain crispness and heat evenly.
