Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 24 pieces pepperoni slices
- 12 cubes mozzarella cheese, cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups marinara sauce (for dipping, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Open the package of refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into 12 triangles according to the pre-cut lines.
Place 2 slices of pepperoni and 1 cube of mozzarella cheese on the wider end of each dough triangle.
Roll the dough tightly around the pepperoni and cheese, starting from the wide end and working toward the point. Pinch the edges to seal as you go.
Arrange the wrapped bites seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced slightly apart.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Brush the butter mixture evenly over the tops of the rolled bites.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the butter-coated bites for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
Remove the pepperoni bites from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
