Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Roll-Ups
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- Thinly sliced corned beef
- 1 cup fermented sauerkraut, very well drained
- Avocado oil spray or melted butter
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- Everything bagel seasoning or caraway seeds
For the Creamy Reuben-Style Dressing
- 1/2 cup high-quality mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons no-sugar-added ketchup
- 1 tablespoon dill pickle or sugar-free pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Sea salt, to taste
How to Make Keto Crispy Reuben Roll-Ups (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle relish, horseradish, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate while you prepare the roll-ups so the flavors can meld.
Step 2: Prep the Filling
Drain the sauerkraut thoroughly and pat it dry with paper towels. This step is important to keep the roll-ups crispy. Lay out the Swiss cheese slices on a clean surface. Add a layer of corned beef to each slice, followed by a small amount of sauerkraut.
Step 3: Roll Them Up
Carefully roll each cheese slice into a tight cylinder, enclosing the filling. Place the roll-ups seam-side down to help them stay closed.
Step 4: Season and Cook
Lightly spray or brush the roll-ups with avocado oil or melted butter. Sprinkle with black pepper and everything bagel seasoning or caraway seeds. Pan-fry over medium heat or air-fry at 375°F until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes total.
Step 5: Serve
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Serve warm with the creamy dressing on the side for dipping.

Tips & Variations
- Make sure the sauerkraut is very dry to avoid soggy roll-ups
- Swap Swiss cheese with provolone for a milder flavor
- Use roast beef if you prefer a less salty filling
- For extra crunch, cook the roll-ups seam-side down first
- These can be made ahead and reheated in an air fryer

Instructions
1. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk mayo, ketchup, relish, horseradish, vinegar, onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt until smooth. Chill while you assemble.

9. Serve: Let cool 1–2 minutes, then serve warm with the dressing for dipping.
Notes
Drain and dry the sauerkraut well for maximum crispiness.
If your cheese slices are thin, work quickly so they don’t tear while rolling.
Swap Swiss with provolone or mozzarella if desired.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days. Reheat in an air fryer or skillet to bring back crispiness.
