👩🍳 Instructions
-
1
Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy spreading. If needed, microwave for 10-15 seconds on low power.
-
2
Lay out each provolone cheese slice flat on a clean work surface.
-
3
Spread a thin, even layer of softened cream cheese over each provolone slice.
-
4
Place 3-4 slices of pepperoni on top of the cream cheese layer on each provolone slice, ensuring even coverage.
-
5
Carefully but firmly roll each layered provolone slice from one end to the other, creating a snug roll. You can leave them whole or slice them into 1-inch pieces.
-
6
Place the roll-ups on a microwave-safe plate or in a single layer in an air fryer basket.
-
7
If using a microwave, heat for 15-30 seconds, or until cheese is just starting to melt and become gooey. If using an air fryer, cook at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes until slightly warmed and crispy at the edges.
-
8
While roll-ups are warming, gently heat the keto marinara sauce on the stovetop or in the microwave until warm.
-
9
Arrange the warm pepperoni cheese roll-ups on a serving platter. Sprinkle with dried oregano and garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
-
10
Serve immediately with the warm keto marinara sauce for dipping.
💡 Notes
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cream cheese. These roll-ups can be assembled ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days; warm just before serving. Always check labels for hidden sugars in pepperoni and marinara when on a strict keto diet.
