Are Keto Crispy Reuben Roll-Ups actually crunchy without bread?

Yes! By frying the Swiss cheese directly in the skillet until it forms a golden-brown crust (often called a frico), you create a structural, crispy shell that replaces the traditional rye bread perfectly.

How many carbs are in these Reuben roll-ups?

Each serving of Keto Crispy Reuben Roll-Ups contains approximately 4 grams of total carbohydrates, making them an excellent choice for strict ketogenic or low-carb lifestyles.

Can I make these in an air fryer?

While you can, the skillet method is preferred for Keto Crispy Reuben Roll-Ups to ensure the cheese melts and crisps evenly. If using an air fryer, use parchment paper and monitor closely to prevent the cheese from blowing away or burning.

What is the best way to drain the sauerkraut?

To prevent your Keto Crispy Reuben Roll-Ups from becoming soggy, place the sauerkraut in a fine-mesh strainer and press firmly with a spoon, or wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and wring out all the excess moisture.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Step 1: Drain the sauerkraut thoroughly by pressing it in a mesh strainer and patting it dry with paper towels to ensure the Keto Crispy Reuben Roll-Ups don't get soggy.
Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add a tiny bit of butter.
Step 3: Place one slice of Swiss cheese in the pan and wait for it to melt and bubble. Once the edges are lacy and golden, the base for your Keto Crispy Reuben Roll-Ups is ready.
Step 4: Layer a slice of corned beef, a bit of sauerkraut, and a drizzle of dressing onto the cheese.
Step 5: Carefully roll the cheese over the filling using a spatula and remove from the heat to crisp up.

Notes

Ensure the pan is not too hot, or the cheese will burn before it becomes structural enough to roll.
