Keto Ham Roll Ups (Printable)
Creamy cheese and crisp vegetables wrapped in savory ham slices for a quick, satisfying low-carb bite.
# What You'll Need:
→ Meats
01 - 8 slices deli ham, preferably nitrate-free
→ Dairy
02 - 4 oz cream cheese, softened
03 - 2 oz shredded cheddar cheese
→ Vegetables & Aromatics
04 - 1 small cucumber, julienned
05 - 1 medium red bell pepper, julienned
06 - 2 tablespoons green onions, finely sliced
→ Seasonings
07 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
08 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
09 - Salt and black pepper, to taste
# How To Make It:
01 - Combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix thoroughly until smooth and evenly incorporated.
02 - Lay out individual ham slices on a clean, flat surface, ensuring they are not overlapping for easy assembly.
03 - Distribute approximately 1 tablespoon of the prepared cheese filling evenly across the surface of each ham slice, covering from edge to edge.
04 - Place julienned cucumber and red bell pepper strips along one short edge of each ham slice, layering them evenly for consistent filling in each roll.
05 - Starting from the edge containing the vegetables, roll each ham slice tightly to create compact cylinders. Apply gentle pressure to ensure the rolls hold their shape.
06 - Position the roll ups seam-side down on a serving platter. Slice in half diagonally for bite-sized pieces if preferred. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes for firmer texture.

03 -
- Pat the vegetables dry with paper towels before rolling to prevent soggy roll ups
- Use a serrated knife and gentle sawing motion to cut them without squishing
