Keto Ham Roll Ups (Printable)

Savory ham slices filled with cream cheese, cheddar, and fresh vegetables for a quick low-carb snack or appetizer.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Meats

01 - 8 slices deli ham (preferably nitrate-free, about 7 oz)

→ 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 Steps:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated.
02 - Arrange the ham slices flat on a clean work surface, ensuring they are not overlapping for easy assembly.
03 - Distribute approximately 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture evenly across each ham slice, covering the surface from edge to edge.
04 - Place a few strips of cucumber and bell pepper along one short edge of each ham slice, layering them evenly for consistent filling in each roll.
05 - Starting from the edge with the vegetables, tightly roll each ham slice into a compact cylinder. Apply gentle pressure to ensure the roll holds its shape.
06 - Position the roll ups seam-side down on a serving platter. Cut in half diagonally for bite-sized appetizers if desired. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 30 minutes for firmer texture.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No cooking required just assembly which means less time in the kitchen
  • The texture contrast between crunchy vegetables and creamy filling keeps every bite interesting
  • These disappear fast at parties but nobody guesses they are actually keto friendly
02 -
  • Chilling the roll ups for 30 minutes before serving makes them much easier to slice cleanly
  • If your ham slices are very thin layer two slices together before adding the filling
03 -
  • Use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between slices to keep the edges neat
  • Pat your vegetables dry with paper towels before rolling to prevent soggy roll ups
