Ingredient Notes

Here’s what you’ll need to make irresistible Keto Salami Roll-Ups:

  • Salami slices: Choose thin, deli-style salami for easy rolling. Hard salami or Genoa salami works best. For a spicier kick, try peppered salami.

  • Cream cheese: Adds creamy texture and tang. Full-fat cream cheese is ideal for keto, but you can use whipped cream cheese for easier spreading.

  • Cheese sticks (mozzarella or cheddar): These give structure and extra protein. String cheese is perfect since it fits nicely in the center.

  • Cucumber sticks or bell pepper strips: For crunch and freshness. Swap in pickles or avocado slices for variety.

  • Fresh herbs (optional): A sprinkle of chopped chives, parsley, or dill adds freshness and a pop of flavor.

Equipment tip: You’ll need parchment paper to keep roll-ups from sticking and a sharp knife to slice them cleanly if you’re serving them as bite-sized pieces.


How To Make Keto Salami Roll-Ups

  1. Prepare your workspace: Lay out parchment paper or a cutting board. Arrange 3–4 slices of salami in a slightly overlapping row to form a rectangle.

    • Tip: Overlapping prevents filling from falling out.

  2. Spread the cream cheese: Use a knife or spatula to spread about 2 tablespoons of cream cheese evenly over the salami layer.

    • Tip: Whipped cream cheese spreads more easily and prevents tearing.

  3. Add the filling: Place one cheese stick and 2–3 cucumber sticks or bell pepper strips at the edge closest to you. If using herbs, sprinkle them over now.

  4. Roll it up tightly: Starting from the edge with the filling, roll the salami tightly into a log shape. Press gently as you roll to secure the cream cheese inside.

  5. Slice or serve whole: For party bites, slice each roll-up into 1-inch rounds using a sharp knife. For a quick snack, leave it whole and enjoy immediately.

  6. Chill if prepping ahead: If making in advance, wrap roll-ups in parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps them hold shape.


Storage Options

  • Room Temperature: Best enjoyed fresh. Don’t leave out for more than 2 hours due to dairy and meat.

  • Refrigeration: Store tightly wrapped in parchment or plastic wrap for up to 3 days. They hold shape better when chilled.

  • Freezing: Not recommended, as cream cheese tends to separate when thawed.

  • Reheating: These are meant to be served cold, but you can enjoy them at room temperature after a short rest out of the fridge.


Variations and Substitutions

  • Spicy Kick: Add jalapeño slices or a smear of hot sauce to the cream cheese.

  • Italian Style: Use provolone cheese, add roasted red peppers, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

  • Breakfast Roll-Ups: Swap veggies for scrambled eggs and a sprinkle of bacon bits.

  • Vegetarian Twist: Replace salami with large zucchini or cucumber slices for a fresh wrap.

  • Holiday Style: Spread cranberry cream cheese and add spinach for festive colors.


Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?
Yes! Prepare them up to 24–48 hours ahead and store tightly wrapped in the fridge.

What type of salami works best?
Thinly sliced deli salami is easiest to roll. Genoa, hard salami, or peppered salami all work well.

Can I use another cheese instead of cream cheese?
Yes, goat cheese, herbed cheese spreads, or mascarpone are great substitutes.

Why are my roll-ups falling apart?
Make sure the salami slices overlap enough and don’t overstuff with fillings. Chilling also helps them hold together.

Are these roll-ups kid-friendly?
Absolutely! Kids love them with milder cheese and cucumber. Just skip spicy add-ins.

Can I make these dairy-free?
Yes, use dairy-free cream cheese and omit cheese sticks, or substitute avocado for creaminess.
