- Sprinkle Italian seasoning evenly across the cheese and pepperoni layers.

Notes
Storage: Store any leftover Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Roll Ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them by placing the rolls in a single layer on a baking sheet, freezing until solid, and then transferring to a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
Reheating: To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the roll ups on a baking sheet. Heat for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. If frozen, bake straight from the freezer for about 20-25 minutes.
Serving: Serve warm as an appetizer or snack, accompanied by marinara sauce for dipping. These roll ups are also great as a party food or game day treat, and they can be cut into smaller pieces for easy sharing.
Chef’s Tip: For an extra flavor boost, brush the tops of the roll ups with olive oil and sprinkle with additional Italian seasoning or garlic powder before baking. This will enhance the aroma and add a lovely golden color.
