Keto Cabbage Rolls are a creamy and flavorful meal. We make these cabbage rolls with mozzarella cheese, green cabbage, black pepper, keto tomato sauce, ground pork, garlic, ground beef, cauliflower rice, onion, and olive oil. All these products might be present in your kitchen pantry; if not, you can get them from supermarkets. These cabbage rolls contain 6 g of net carbs & 320 kcal. We can store these cooked cabbage rolls in the freezer for almost three months, so we can also easily make them earlier. These cabbage rolls are prepared in almost an hour and five minutes. You can also make them with non-dairy products for dairy-sensitive people. Keto Cabbage Rolls are great for lunches, snacks, appetizers, and dinners. Serve these rolls with Creamy Broccoli Cheddar or spinach feta.

INGREDIENT NOTES:

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • Almond flour is utilized to prepare the filling. It will soak up all the water content and will help in combining the filling. Utilize the crushed pork rinds instead for this purpose.

CAULIFLOWER RICE:

  • Cauliflower is used to provide a structure and include bulk in the cabbage rolls. Use the shirataki rice, or finely chopped rice, as a replacement.

BEEF:

  • It forms the base of the filling. Alternate it with ground chicken, pork & turkey.

KETO TOMATO SAUCE:

  • Use tomato sauce without sugar to spread on the cabbage rolls. We can swap it with the homemade tomato sauce.
