Ingredients

32 slices pepperoni
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon dried parsley (or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley)
¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
Open the can of crescent rolls and separate the dough into the 8 triangles. Place the triangles onto the prepared baking sheet.

Place 4 pieces of pepperoni slices at the wider end of each triangle crescent. Sprinkle some shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the pepperoni.

Starting from the wide end of the triangle, carefully roll the dough toward the smaller tip of the crescent, making sure to tuck in any cheese that may spill out.
Place each crescent roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil and sprinkle the Italian seasoning, parsley, and garlic powder onto the top of each of the crescent pizza rolls.
1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon dried parsley, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Cook for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the pizza rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving with warm pizza sauce, on the side, for dipping (optional).

Notes

Olive Oil : I use 'light tasting' extra-virgin olive oil but any neutral flavored will work well - avocado oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil.

Serving Size Tip : This recipe easily doubles! I always double the recipe for my family. Use as much or as little pepperoni slices as your family prefers. My kids don't love tons of pepperoni so I normally only use 3 slices per crescent roll.
