Keto Pizza Roll‑ups

By deiv3 on September 11, 2024

Ingredients:

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup almond flour
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ cup low-carb pizza sauce (or marinara sauce)
20-25 slices pepperoni
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for filling)
Fresh basil or parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Make the Dough:

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese in 30-second intervals until fully melted and stretchy.
Stir in the almond flour, egg, baking powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix until the ingredients form a dough-like consistency. You may need to knead the dough with your hands to fully combine everything.

3. Roll Out the Dough:

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a thin rectangle (about ¼ inch thick).
Trim the edges if needed to get a neat rectangle shape.

4. Assemble the Roll-Ups:

Spread a thin layer of low-carb pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Arrange the pepperoni slices evenly over the sauce.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the pepperoni.

5. Roll the Dough:

Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough into a tight log shape, like a jelly roll.
Slice the log into 8-10 equal pieces, depending on the size of the roll-ups.

6. Bake the Roll-Ups:

Place the roll-ups on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

7. Serve:

Once baked, let the pizza roll-ups cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping if desired.

These Keto Pizza Roll-Ups are a fantastic way to enjoy pizza flavors while keeping things low-carb. The combination of melted mozzarella, pepperoni, and sauce makes each bite satisfying and flavorful. Perfect for pizza cravings without the carbs!
