Pepperoni Hot Pockets
Homemade Pepperoni Hot Pockets are quick and easy to prepare and are so much healthier than the kind found in the freezer isle. Just a few simple ingredients needed to make the best pizza pocket snack baked in the oven.
Servings: 6 hot pockets
Calories: 547kcal
Ingredients
- 3 tube (8-count pack) tubes of crescent rolls
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1½ cups mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup pepperoni
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Roll out the tubes of crescent rolls and divide each tube into 2 rectangles. Pinch the seams of the triangles together to help them hold their rectangular shape better.
- Top three of the rectangles with marinara sauce, cheese, and pepperoni.
- Place a rectangle on each of the topped crescent rolls and use a fork to crimp the edges.
- Bake three hot pockets at a time for 14 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Melt the butter with the oregano and use a pastry brush to brush a generous amount of butter on each hot pocket as they come out of the oven.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Yield: 6 hot pockets
Storage:
- To Store: Store these hot pockets in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To Freeze: Store these hot pockets in a freezer-safe container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- To Reheat: To reheat, simply bake them in the oven at 350 degrees for about 14 minutes, or until heated all the way through.
- I recommend that you have all your ingredients laid out before prepping this recipe. The crescent roll dough will soften quickly, making it harder to work with. To make things a little easier, you can even prep these hot pockets right on the baking sheet.
- I like to use plain marinara sauce, but any kind of marinara, pizza sauce, or red sauce will work for this recipe.
- Make sure not to overstuff your pockets. You don't want them to split open or leak during baking.
