Ingredients
Scale
For the Roll-Ups:
- 8 oz corned beef, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
- 8 oz Swiss cheese, sliced
- 4 large lettuce leaves (Romaine or iceberg)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
For the Crispy Coating:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the roll-ups to a crispy golden finish.
- Prepare the lettuce base: Lay out the lettuce leaves on a clean work surface and spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard evenly over each leaf to add flavor and help hold the filling together.
- Layer the fillings: Spread the thinly sliced corned beef, drained sauerkraut, and sliced Swiss cheese evenly over the mustard-coated lettuce leaves to create the signature Reuben flavor profile.
- Roll tightly: Carefully roll each lettuce leaf tightly, making sure to secure the fillings inside for easy handling during the coating and baking process.
- Mix coating ingredients: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until fully combined, making the egg wash for the crispy coating.
- Coat the roll-ups: Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring full coverage, then roll it in the almond flour to create an even crispy crust.
- Arrange for baking: Place the roll-ups seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and maintain their shape while baking.
- Bake: Bake the roll-ups in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside, indicating they’re perfectly cooked and ready to enjoy.
Notes
- You can substitute Romaine or iceberg lettuce with other sturdy leafy greens that hold up well when rolled.
- Ensure the sauerkraut is well-drained and squeezed dry to prevent sogginess.
- For extra crispiness, you may broil the roll-ups for an additional 1-2 minutes but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- This recipe is perfect to prepare in advance—assemble and refrigerate roll-ups before coating and baking for convenience.
- Serve with keto-friendly dipping sauces like mustard or a creamy dressing for added flavor.
