INGREDIENT NOTES & THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- We utilize cheddar cheese because it creates a melty texture and sharp cheesy flavor. Instead, you can use Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or Colby Jack.
BELL PEPPER:
- Bell pepper adds freshness, crunch, and color to the filling. As a replacement, you can use poblano peppers or diced zucchini.
ONION:
- We use onion because it provides a sweet, savory flavor to the filling.
JALAPEÑOS:
- Jalapeños add a mild spicy kick and bold flavor. Instead, you can use serrano peppers or diced green chilies.
OLIVE OIL:
- Olive oil helps cook the filling while adding healthy fats and flavor. As an alternative, you can use avocado oil or butter.
CILANTRO:
- Cilantro provides a fresh, bright flavor to the egg rolls.
KETO EGG ROLL WRAPPERS:
- We use keto egg roll wrappers to keep the recipe low in carbohydrates while creating a crispy exterior. As a replacement, you can use homemade mozzarella-almond flour wrappers.
