If you're anything like me, you're always on the hunt for that magical unicorn of a recipe that's easy, delicious, and doesn't wreck your low carb or keto vibe. Well, friend, get ready to swoon because these Italian Sub Roll Ups are about to rock your snack world!
Imagine all the bold, zesty flavors of a classic Italian sub—the pepperoni, the salami, the ham, that dreamy provolone—but without the carb coma that usually follows. Yep, we're skipping the bread and rolling all that goodness into perfect little pinwheels of happiness! 🌟
These beauties come together in, like, 15 minutes flat. (Seriously, I timed it between episodes of my favorite guilty-pleasure show.) All you need is a tray, some toothpicks, and a little bit of layering magic! Plus, they’re the ultimate “look at me, I'm so fancy” appetizer for parties, game days, or even just surviving a Wednesday without ordering takeout. 😂
Here's what you're gonna need:
- 12 slices genoa salami
- 12 slices sandwich pepperoni
- 12 slices thinly sliced ham
- 12 slices provolone cheese (I used Sargento Thin slices and they were chef's kiss)
- 2 tsp oregano
- 1 roma tomato, diced small
- ¼ cup red onion, diced small
The game plan is simple: lay down your meats and cheese in a gorgeous little vertical line, sprinkle on the oregano, then lovingly toss some tomato and onion magic over the top.
Start rolling from the ham side and keep it tight—you want all those juicy flavors hugging each other. Secure with a toothpick and boom, you're a culinary genius.
Tara's Tips & Tricks:
- Want to mix it up? Swap the ham for turkey, or add a little banana pepper for a spicy kick!
- These keep super well in the fridge, so they're perfect to make ahead for party prep or a quick snack attack.
- If you're really feeling extra, serve them with a little side of Italian dressing or pesto for dipping!
Substitutions:
- Cheese: Not a provolone fan? Mozzarella, swiss, or even a smoky gouda would be delish.
- Meat: Prosciutto lovers, don't be shy! Throw some in there and thank me later.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve on a platter with olives and pickles for a low carb antipasto board.
- Pair with a crisp salad for a super satisfying lunch that won't leave you missing the bread!
