pizza sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: canned tomato sauce

Homemade sauce can be lower in sugar and preservatives.

pepperoni

🥗Healthier: turkey pepperoni

💰Cheaper: salami

Turkey pepperoni has fewer calories and fat.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds umami flavor.

Heat oil in a pan until deep enough for frying.

Keep a lid on the pan to heat the oil faster.

Remove the lid and add frozen pizza rolls directly from the freezer, being cautious of the hot oil.

Fry the pizza rolls for about 5 to 10 minutes, watching carefully to prevent the filling from leaking out.

Once fried, transfer the pizza rolls to a bowl to drain excess grease, leaving a little for flavor.

Melt Kerrygold garlic and herb butter and pour it over the fried pizza rolls in the bowl.

Add a generous amount of Polynesian cheese to the bowl with the pizza rolls.

Sprinkle parsley flakes over the mixture, using dried instead of fresh for convenience.

Toss everything together until well combined, ensuring the butter helps the cheese and parsley stick to the pizza rolls.

Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
