Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (8-ounce) crescent roll dough
- 16 pieces pepperoni slices
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons (melted) butter
- 1 tablespoon (optional, chopped) fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforated lines.
Spread a small amount of marinara sauce (about 1/2 teaspoon) onto the wide end of each triangle.
Place 2 slices of pepperoni and about 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella on top of the marinara sauce for each triangle.
Sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano and garlic powder over the toppings.
Starting at the wide end of the triangle, roll each piece of dough tightly towards the point, tucking in the sides slightly to seal the fillings.
Place the rolled croissants on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down, and brush the tops with melted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm with additional marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
