High Protein Keto Italian Sub Rolls

That classic meat, cheese, and veggie combo in a traditional Italian sub makes for an irresistible flavor combination. These mouth-watering Keto sub rolls contain 3 kinds of cold meats, provolone cheese, mayo, and some fresh vegetables; all rolled up into a low-carb wrap. This high-protein Keto recipe is super easy to prepare and requires no cooking.

What kind of cheese can you use?

You can use any cheese you prefer, as long as they’re sliced - like cheddar, gouda, American cheese, or mozzarella. If you are going for a dairy-free option, you can use your preferred vegan cheese instead.

What kind of cold meat can you substitute?

You can use any of your favorite cold meats; some options include prosciutto, pepperoni, smoked turkey, and roast beef. This recipe is super versatile allowing you to get creative with your high-protein Keto snacks.

What extra toppings can you add to the high-protein Keto sub rolls?

To these Keto rolls, you can add banana peppers, jalapeño peppers, pickles, roasted red peppers, or black olives. You can also add your desired condiments like sugar-free ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing and serve them with Italian dressing or a simple olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette.

Are these low-carb Italian sub rolls gluten-free?

We can't say outright that cold cuts are gluten-free, but we have reviewed numerous lunch meat labels and found very few with any ingredients with the potential to contain gluten. So make sure that the brand of cold meat you use does not contain gluten. Processed cheese and cheeses labeled as low-salt, low-fat, or fat-free may have gluten. So make sure that your choice of cheese label does not contain gluten.

Recipe Steps

steps 4

15 min

  • Step 1

    First, wash the lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Shred the lettuce into small pieces. Finally, slice your tomatoes and onions.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Start by layering 4 slices of mortadella individually on a flat surface, then layer the four pieces of ham, followed by salami and cheese. Spread ½ tbsp of mayo on each stack, making sure not to spread it to the sides, top, and bottom so that it does not drip out when rolling. Finally, add the shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and onions on top of the mayo.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Have the toothpicks nearby and ready to grab. Starting from the bottom of the cheese, gently (but as tightly as possible) roll the stack, pushing in any fillings that find their way out. When you get to the end, stick a toothpick into the sub-roll to ensure that it holds.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Dip the roll-ups in the dressing of your choice and enjoy! Store extras in the fridge, wrapped individually in plastic wrap, for up to a week. These make for a delicious and easy high-protein Keto snack.

    I could not roll them up due psoriatic arthritis in my hands, so I chopped up the ingredients for 2 rolls, added a little more chopped romaine lettuce, and enjoyed a very tasty and surprisingly filling salad.
