These Keto Best Egg Rolls have all the taste of regular egg rolls, avoiding the high-fat wrappings. These rolls are ideal for appetizers, main course, or snacks, containing low-carb content and remaining keto-friendly. With the use of grated cabbage, savory pork chunks, and spicy seasoning, these rolls are golden, crunchy, and filled. We can store these rolls in a fridge for 50-60 days. Carbs can be kept to the lowest possible level while retaining that tasty crispiness by using light, low-carb egg roll covers made from almond or coconut flour, or even cabbage leaves. They are quick to put all together, simple to bake or pan-fry, and ideal for anyone who wants a tasty, crispy snack without going out of keto. These egg rolls add flavor and texture.
