Easy Pepperoni Crescent Rolls are perfect for a quick dinner or a great party snack! Only 5 ingredients and ready in less than 30 minutes!

Okay.

I think this may be the easiest recipe on this blog

It’s just pepperoni and half of a cheese stick rolled into one of those refrigerated canned crescent rolls. Brush that with some olive oil so it gets extra brown and a bit crisp and sprinkle some Italian seasoning on so your house smells like a pizza place. Bake until the cheese starts oozing out the sides and that’s it.

My kids loved this for an easy lunch over the weekend but it’d also be great to make in a large amount for parties. Because even cooled down, they’re still going to be delicious.

I served them with some warmed up marinara but you could also serve them with ranch for dipping.

Ingredients

Crescent rolls
Mozzarella string cheese – you can use a different string cheese if you prefer but the mozzarella melts really nicely and gives you a nice cheese pull.
Pepperoni – I used about 8 slices of pepperoni per crescent roll but you can add more or less. You could even do sausage or whatever your favorite pizza toppings are.
Olive oil – this is just for brushing the tops of the crescent rolls so they brown nicely.
Italian seasoning – you can skip this if you have picky kids who don’t like green stuff.
Pizza sauce – this is for dipping. You could also do ranch if you are a ranch pizza dipper.

How To Make Pepperoni Crescent Rolls

Prepare. Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Assemble. Divide crescent rolls into 8 triangles. Layer pepperoni on a crescent roll. Place half of a string cheese on the wide end of the crescent roll. Roll up and place on baking sheet. Repeat.
Brush. Brush each roll with olive oil and sprinkle Italian seasoning on top.
Bake. Bake 11 – 13 minutes or until golden brown.

How Long Are They Good For?

Pepperoni crescent rolls are best immediately after baking so the crescent still have a bit of a crisp to them. However, they will be fine to eat for up to 3 days after baking.

I recommend reheating them in a toaster oven or at really low temperature in the oven.

Can You Freeze Them?

You can freeze these for up to 3 months. Let them cool completely and then place them in a freezer ziploc bag.

When you are ready to serve them, let them defrost overnight in the fridge and then reheat.
