Ingredients you need to make Pepperoni Twists: 

• 1 package Pillsbury reduced fat crescent rolls
• 2 tablespoons pizza sauce
• 20 slices pepperoni 
• ¼ cup shredded light cheese

• Pinch of Italian seasoning

How to make Pepperoni Twists (step by step): 

1. Preheat the oven to 375F, and spray a large cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Unroll the crescent roll dough so you have 4 rectangle pieces of 2 croissants. Pinch together any open seams.
3. Spread out 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce on top of two of the dough pieces.
4. Top each of the two pieces with 10 pepperoni slices and 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese.
5. Cover with the other two dough pieces. Using a pizza cutter, cut each into 7 pieces, giving you a total of 14 pieces.
6. Take each piece one at a time and transport it to the baking sheet. Just before you lay them down give them a twist using your fingers.
7. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning on top and bake them in the oven for approx 12 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
