Crispy Pizza Wraps

Crispy Pizza Wraps
It's the new year. Which means one thing:
people are resoluting to be healthier.

And this year Michael and I are very much amongst those peoples. We have a wedding to prep for!
Crispy Pizza Wraps
I'm going to be primarily trying to exercise-but also just making better choices for food (less sweets/fats, pretty much no fried food and trying to limit the amount we go out to eat). Michael works so much that he doesn't have as much time to exercise and he's not a picky eater so we'll mostly be making diet changes for him. This means that there will probably be more healthy/healthier foods on the blog for the forseeable future...

...that said....everything in moderation.

There'll still be some treats, don't worry ;)
Crispy Pizza Wraps
This recipe is a great way to bring in this new year! Michael loves pizza rolls and um...they're horrid for you. So I made these as an attempt to create a healthier copy cat. Are they the same as pizza rolls? No. They're not. HOWEVER they are delicious and still a tasty, lighter, little snack. You just use some wonton wrappers and, really, stuff whatever you want inside--if you want to get really healthy put some spinach and chicken in there (I tried to stay close to the inspiration with pepperoni and cheese). They're crispy/crunchy, easy, and a crowd pleaser!

Because being healthier shouldn't feel like we're denying ourselves :)

Crispy Pizza Wraps
Makes 16 pizza wraps.
Ingredients:
  • 8 egg roll wraps
  • Approx. 8 tbsp. tomato sauce
  • 16 small pepperoni slices
  • Approx. 2 sticks of mozzarella string cheese (cut each stick in half. Then cut into 1 in. wide pieces, until you have 16 total cheese pieces)
Preparation:
  • Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Lay out 1 egg roll wrap on the prepared sheet, fold the top over the bottom so you have a rectangular half. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut in half of that (so you have 2 folded squares). Unfold each square and position the two halves about 1-2 inches apart. Repeat with the rest of the egg roll wraps (or you can fill and do this as you go along).
  • Place about 1/2 tbsp. of tomato sauce in the center of one unfolded half. Place a piece of pepperoni on top and then a piece of the cut up mozzarella string cheese.
  • Wet your fingers and use that to moisten around all 4 edges of the square. Re-fold the top half over the assembled pizza roll and press moistened edges together to seal. Repeat this process until you have 16 total "pizza rolls" on your baking sheet.
  • Spray each pizza roll with non-stick cooking spray or lightly brush with olive oil.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, until crisped and golden brown around the edges.
  • Cool and serve! Best served fresh but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days (and reheat in a 300 degree oven or just in the microwave).
