Ingredients
Scale
- 12 slices mozzarella cheese
- Pepperoni slices or mini pepperoni
- Italian seasoning
- Keto marinara sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the cheese melts perfectly when you place it in the oven.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. This prevents the cheese from sticking and makes cleanup easier. Make sure it’s evenly covered.
- Arrange the mozzarella slices: Lay out 12 slices of mozzarella cheese on the lined baking sheet. Keep them slightly apart to allow for even melting. You should see some space between the slices.
- Bake the cheese: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for exactly 6 minutes. Watch closely; the edges should start to turn golden brown and the cheese should be bubbly.
- Cool the cheese: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cheese cool for about 2 minutes. This step is crucial to avoid burns when rolling it up. You want it to be soft but not too hot to handle.
- Add seasoning and pepperoni: While the cheese is cooling, sprinkle Italian seasoning evenly over the melted cheese. Then, place your desired amount of pepperoni slices on top of the cheese. Make sure to distribute them evenly.
- Roll it up: Starting from one end, carefully roll up the cheese with the pepperoni inside, creating a tight roll. Use a spatula to help lift it if needed, and be gentle to prevent breaking.
- Serve: Slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces and serve immediately with keto marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy the delightful contrast of textures and flavors!
