Baked Pizza Roll Ups   A quick and delicious way to prepare pizza! These are made with part skim cheese and turkey pepperoni so are on the healthier side as well!

Pizza is such a great food, isn’t it? You can make it in the traditional form, roll it up in a stromboli, or make it light and crispy in this version here. It’s so versatile and always appeals to everyone, adults and kids.

Won ton Pizza Roll Ups

I made these Baked Pizza Roll Ups for lunch one afternoon and I could tell they were going to be great, but after taking a couple bites, what I was most excited to find was that these had the taste of Pizza Hut breadsticks!! As a kid, Pizza Hut was one of my favorite places to eat. Did your school have the “Book It” program? It was a great program where if you read a designated amount of books, you got a free pizza certificate. I loved going there and enjoying my free pizza, but usually the highlight of the meal was their delicious breadsticks. While there is no bread involved in these roll ups, the sprinkle of garlic and cheese on top really take these over the edge and give them that distinct bread stick taste.

I used part-skim mozzarella sticks and turkey pepperoni for these and I really recommend those even if you aren’t trying to eat light! By using these two ingredients, you reduce the amount of grease, which allows these to get nice and crispy! If you want to throw caution to the wind and go with the full fat stuff, go for it! I’m sure you can’t go wrong!

Lightened Up Baked Pizza Roll Ups

These could be eaten as an appetizer, a light lunch, or dinner with a salad on the side.  I have been thinking up some other combinations…peppers and onions, ham and cheese, or margherita pizza! These could so easily be adapted into really delicious combinations! I hope you try these next time you are craving pizza! After making them once, I guarantee you will be hooked just like we are!
