Ingredients
  

  • Deli meats: Sliced salami, ham, and turkey (or chicken). Aim for 12–16 slices total.
  • Cheese: Provolone slices (6–8 slices) or mozzarella.
  • Lettuce: Romaine leaves or iceberg for crunch; butter lettuce if you prefer softer wraps.
  • Veggies: Sliced tomato (thin), red onion (thinly sliced), cucumber sticks.
  • Pickled punch: Sliced pepperoncini or banana peppers.
  • Condiments: Mayo and mustard.
  • Seasonings: Italian seasoning, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (optional).
  • Olives (optional): Sliced black or green olives.
  • Italian dressing: Sugar-free or homemade (olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano).
  • Extras: Fresh basil leaves, pickles, or a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Toothpicks or parchment paper: For securing or wrapping the roll ups.

Method
 

  1. Prep your workspace: Lay a large cutting board on the counter. Pat your lettuce leaves dry to help everything hold together.
  2. Build the base: Place 2–3 slices of deli meat slightly overlapping to form a rectangle. Add 1 slice of provolone on top.
  3. Add spreads: Spread a thin swipe of mayo and a small line of mustard over the cheese. Don’t overdo it—too much makes rolling slippery.
  4. Layer the veggies: At the edge closest to you, add a few lettuce pieces, 2–3 tomato slices, a few onion slivers, and 2–3 cucumber sticks. Keep the layer thin.
  5. Add tang and seasoning: Top with pepperoncini slices and olives if using. Sprinkle with a pinch of oregano, salt, and pepper. Add a light drizzle of sugar-free Italian dressing.
  6. Roll it tight: Starting from the veggie edge, roll firmly away from you, tucking the filling in as you go. Use toothpicks to secure if needed.
  7. Slice and serve: Cut each roll up in half or into 3–4 bite-size pieces. Wipe your knife between cuts for clean slices.
  8. Finish with freshness: Garnish with torn basil, a crack of black pepper, and a tiny drizzle of olive oil if you like.
  9. Repeat: Continue with remaining ingredients until you have the number of roll ups you want.
