Step 5

Tips for the Best Keto Roll-Ups
- Use thick-cut pepperoni for extra crispiness.
- Don’t overbake or the cheese may leak too much.
- Add jalapeño slices inside for spicy keto pizza bites.
- Air fryer option: cook at 390°F for 6 to 7 minutes.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven for the crispiest texture.
