From my time making low-carb foods, I've found that taking your time with layering makes all the difference - if you rush putting these together, they'll end up messy.
Ways To Serve
Make these roll-ups the star of your next get-together by setting up different dips around them. Put out some marinara, ranch, and garlic mayo. They're great next to fresh cut veggies and other low-carb nibbles. Set them out on nice platters with some fresh herbs sprinkled around and make sure there are small plates for guests.
Mix It Up
Try switching things up with these flexible roll-ups by playing with different stuffings. Swap in some Italian sausage or shredded chicken for a change, or go meat-free with sliced mushrooms and bell peppers. You can also try different cheeses like provolone or pepper jack, or throw in some fresh basil leaves for extra flavor. Want some heat? Add sliced jalapeños or a dash of red pepper.
Keep 'Em Fresh
Make sure they stay tasty by storing them right. Pop them in sealed containers in the fridge and eat within three days. Want to plan ahead? Get them ready but wait to bake until needed. When reheating, use your oven to bring back the crunch. Skip the microwave or you'll end up with soggy roll-ups.
Pro Tips
- Go easy with the fillings
- Roll firmly but don't squish
