Ingredients You’ll Need
For these Keto Crispy Reuben Roll-Ups, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups Shredded Swiss Cheese
- 1/2 pound Sliced Corned Beef Deli Meat
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Let’s Get Started
Step 1: Prep the Cheese
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Next, take a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. Spread the shredded Swiss cheese in an even layer across the sheet, creating small mounds of cheese that will form the base for your roll-ups.
Step 2: Melt the Cheese
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes or until the cheese has melted and has begun to turn golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Step 3: Assemble the Roll-Ups
Once the cheese has melted and is golden and crispy, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a minute or two. Then, carefully cut the melted cheese into rectangular pieces (about 4×3-inch pieces). This will be the outer shell of your roll-ups.
Place a slice of corned beef deli meat on each piece of cheese. Add a spoonful of sauerkraut on top of the corned beef, making sure not to add too much, as you don’t want the roll-ups to become soggy.
Step 4: Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, sugar-free ketchup, Swerve confectioner’s sugar substitute, horseradish sauce, and a pinch of paprika. Stir until the sauce is smooth and well-combined.
Step 5: Roll and Secure
Now it’s time to roll up your Reuben! Carefully roll up each cheese rectangle, ensuring the fillings are securely wrapped inside. If needed, use a toothpick to hold the roll-ups in place.
Step 6: Bake Again
Place the roll-ups back in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the roll-ups are crispy and golden. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn. Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Servings and Pairing
These Keto Crispy Reuben Roll-Ups make a perfect snack or appetizer for 4-6 people, depending on portion size. You can serve them with a side of fresh veggies, a keto-friendly dip, or a refreshing salad for a complete meal. For a full meal, pair them with a cauliflower mash or a side of keto-friendly fries!
Variations
While this recipe is already a delicious keto treat, there are a few variations you can try to make it your own:
-
Add Cheese Variety: You can swap the Swiss cheese for other cheeses like cheddar or provolone for a different flavor.
-
Add Pickles: For an extra kick, add a few slices of pickles or pickle relish to your roll-ups.
-
Add Bacon: Add crispy bacon bits for an extra layer of crunch and flavor.
-
Spicy Option: If you enjoy a little heat, add some diced jalapeños or chili flakes to the sauce for a spicy twist.
Storage Tips
If you have leftovers (which is unlikely, but possible!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll keep well for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes or until crispy again. You can also microwave them for a quicker option, but they may not be as crispy.
FAQs
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the cheese and the filling ahead of time. Simply store the cheese in the fridge until you’re ready to bake it, and assemble the roll-ups just before serving.
Can I freeze Keto Crispy Reuben Roll-Ups?
Yes, you can freeze them! After assembling the roll-ups, place them on a baking sheet and freeze them for about 30 minutes. Once frozen, transfer them to an airtight container or zip-top bag. When ready to eat, bake them directly from frozen, adjusting the baking time as needed.
How can I make the roll-ups less greasy?
To make the roll-ups less greasy, make sure to drain the sauerkraut well and use paper towels to pat down the corned beef. This will help remove excess moisture and fat.

They are not only keto-friendly but also packed with savory flavor and texture that will make you forget about bread.
