These Keto Salami Roll-Ups are a fun and tasty snack that everyone loves! Just wrap cream cheese and your favorite veggies inside slices of salami, and you’re good to go.
They’re super easy to make and perfect for munching any time. I like to put them on a platter for parties, but honestly, they never last long because they’re too yummy! 😋
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Salami: This is the star of the show! Look for thinly sliced salami for easy rolling. If you prefer a milder flavor, try turkey or chicken salami. For a vegetarian option, consider roasted red pepper slices or cucumbers.
Cream Cheese: Regular cream cheese works well, but you can use a dairy-free alternative like vegan cream cheese if you’re avoiding dairy. I often mix in flavored cream cheese to add a twist!
Fresh Herbs: Chives and parsley give great flavor. If you can’t find fresh herbs, dried versions will do. Just use about one-third of the amount since dried herbs are stronger.
Seasonings: Adjust garlic and onion powder to your taste. I love adding a hint of red pepper flakes for some spice! If you’re looking for a different flavor, you can use Italian seasoning.
How Do I Roll These Up Without Making a Mess?
Rolling can be tricky, but here’s a simple way to do it. Start by spreading the cream cheese mixture evenly on the salami. Leave some space at the edges, so it doesn’t ooze out when you roll. Here’s a quick guide:
- Lay the salami slice flat, apply cream cheese, and leave a small border.
- Start at one end and roll tightly, holding the cream cheese inside.
- For neatness, use a sharp knife to slice the ends off after rolling.
Chilling before slicing helps them hold their shape. Enjoy making these tasty snacks!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the chopped chives, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well combined and creamy.
2. Lay Out the Salami:
Spread the salami slices out on a clean surface or cutting board. Make sure they are slightly overlapping if needed to create a more stable base for your roll-ups.
3. Fill Each Slice:
Take a generous teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture and spread it evenly over each slice of salami, leaving a small border around the edges so that it doesn’t ooze out when you roll them up.
4. Roll It Up:
Starting from one end, carefully roll each slice of salami tightly around the cream cheese filling. Make sure it’s snug to keep it together without breaking the salami.
5. Chill Before Serving:
Place the roll-ups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will help them firm up and allow the flavors to meld together nicely.
6. Slice for Snacking:
Once chilled, use a sharp knife to slice each roll-up into 1-inch thick pinwheels. This size is perfect for munching!
