Did you ever hear of microwaved salami? My mother in law made this for me many, many years ago and I was surprised at how tasty it is. I tastes a bit like bacon with much less mess.
The other day I was craving Mexican food so I threw together these low carb salami tostadas. So tasty and they only take 5 minutes to make! Best of all each one has only 0.6g net carbs so you can eat a bunch and not feel guilty!
I have made something similar to this with my salami, tomato and avocado cups and with my pepperoni roasted tomato pizza cups. In those recipes I made cups out of the salami and pepperoni and it had to be baked in muffin tins. This recipe is much easier.
How to make keto salami tostadas in 5 minutes.
You can make salami chips in an oven but I like the microwave because it’s faster.
Step 1: Just arrange the the slices on a plate or a microwave bacon cooker like this and cook for 1 -2 minutes.
You might have to experiment a few times to get them to your desired crispiness. They can burn quickly so after a minute, cook for 15 second intervals until they are done. The time may vary depending on the thickness of your salami. I tried it with thick and thin pieces of salami and I liked the thicker ones better.
Step 2: Now you have your salami tostadas bases, just load them with your favorite toppings.
For this particular recipe I used full fat sour cream, a finely diced grape tomato, lettuce, cheddar and a thin slice of jalapeño and it was delicious! You could add avocado or mix a few spices in the sour cream or even add some cilantro and a squeeze of lime!
Just add them to your salami base and a serve. This is a quick snack you can eat in the afternoon or at night. You could also serve them as a keto appetizer.
So that was a quick and easy low carb snack for you to try sometimes. Please let me know if you like them or if you have a different take on this. I’d love to hear about it!

This is such a great snack. I love making salami chips because they are crispy and salty and usually satisfy the craving for traditional chips for me. Adding the toppings takes it to another level!
