Low Carb Roll Up Recipes

LOW CARB EGGPLANT LASAGNA ROLL-UPS

Steps:

• PREP: Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and place the sliced eggplants in a single layer on the baking sheets. When the oven is preheated, bake for 10 minutes. Leave the oven on as we'll need to bake the rolls.
• MEAT: While the eggplant is baking, heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and crumble the meat using a wooden spoon. Cook for 2 minutes, then add the tomato paste and season with the garlic powder, salt, onion powder, oregano, crushed fennel, red pepper flakes, black pepper, ground nutmeg, and stir to combine, let cook for 3 minutes or until the ground beef is cooked through and browned. Turn off the heat, and remove the mixture to a large bowl, and let cool completely. You can also do this part 1-2 days in advance to make prep easier for weeknights!
• CHEESE MIX: Once the meat mixture is cooled, stir in the ricotta cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella, parmesan, parsley, and basil. Taste and adjust with additional salt if needed, then stir in the egg yolk. In a 9x13 baking dish or in the dutch oven you used earlier, pour ½ of the marinara sauce and spread it out in an even layer. If you like more sauce or need it to serve with veggies, I suggest using a total of 3 cups, for less sauce, use a total of 2 cups (so here you'd use 1 cup and the other for topping)
• ROLL AND BAKE: Lay a slice of eggplant on a clean work surface, top with 2 tablespoons of the prepared meat and cheese mixture an inch above the widest part of the eggplant. Roll the space you left over the mixture and continue to roll all the way to the end. Place in the prepared baking dish with the open side down (so the dish holds it in place. And continue to repeat with the remaining eggplant slices. Top with the remaining marinara sauce, followed by the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella, cover and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and allow to bake for an additional 10 minutes. Broil for the last minute if you want the top to be extra bubbly and golden. Let sit a few minutes, then top with additional parsley if desired and serve.

ZUCCHINI ROLL UPS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut off the ends of the zucchini. Use a mandolin to slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin sheets, 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) thick.
• Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the lined baking sheet. Brush both sides with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Roast zucchini slices in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until soft and mostly dry.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together tomato sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Italian seasoning, and minced garlic. Adjust salt to taste if needed. Spread 3/4 cup (177 ml) of the sauce at the bottom of an 8x8 square glass casserole dish (this one is the perfect size). Reserve the remaining sauce for later. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together the ricotta, Parmesan, egg, and Italian seasoning.
• Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on a large cutting board. Pat dry with paper towels to soak up any extra water or oil.
• Spread a tablespoon of ricotta mixture over each zucchini slice. Sprinkle with a tablespoon of mozzarella. Roll up tightly and place sideways into the baking dish. Repeat with all the zucchini slices.
• Top each zucchini roll with 1/2 tablespoon (7 ml) of the remaining sauce, then 1/2 tablespoon (7.05 g) of mozzarella.
• Bake for about 10 minutes, until the cheese on top is melted. Garnish with fresh basil.

EASY LOW CARB ROLL RECIPE WITH FATHEAD DOUGH

Steps:

• Melt the mozzarella and cream cheese together in a microwave-safe bowl at full power for 1 minute. Stir, then heat another 30-45 seconds, it should be molten. Scrape the cheese into the bowl of a food processor and process until thoroughly mixed. Add the egg and mix until blended.
• Add the dry ingredients to the food processor and process until thoroughly combined (about 10-15 seconds).
• Spray a piece of cling film with oil and scrape the bread dough onto the center of the cling film. It is VERY STICKY. Gently shape the dough into a disk or rectangle and place in the freezer to cool until the oven is ready. (NOTE: if your dough is not very sticky, then it does not need to go into the freezer.)
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and position the rack to the middle of the oven. Line a cookie sheet with a piece of parchment or a Silpat. (NOTE: I place an old metal pie plate in the bottom of my oven while preheating. Then, I add about 6 ice cubes to it when the rolls go in. This forces them to rise.)
• When the oven is ready, remove the dough from the freezer and cut into 8 pieces. The dough will stick like crazy to the knife. It's' okay.
• Lightly oil your hands and gently roll a portion of dough into a ball and drop it onto the prepared cookie sheet to flatten the bottom. Repeat the process for the remaining dough. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or dehydrated onion, pressing very gently into the dough to adhere.
• Bake for approximately 13-15 minutes. The dough will brown and may split. Enjoy. Keep extra rolls in the refrigerator (or freezer) and gently warm before eating.
