Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Prepare Crescent Roll Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles as indicated by the perforations on the package.
Add Sauce and Fillings: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce evenly over each triangle. Then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and a few mini pepperoni slices on top of the sauce.
Roll Up the Dough: Starting from the wide end, carefully roll each triangle toward the pointed end to create a crescent shape. Place each roll-up on the prepared baking sheet with the point side down to secure the roll.
Brush and Season: Brush the tops of each roll-up with melted butter. Sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and optional grated Parmesan cheese over the tops for added flavor.
Bake: Bake the roll-ups in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

Swap mini pepperoni for diced cooked sausage or vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for variety.
These roll-ups make a fun and kid-friendly party appetizer or a quick lunch option.
Brush with extra melted butter before baking for an even richer flavor and golden crust.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for best results when topping.
