No, you’re not hallucinating nor are these a mirage, they really are Keto Cuban Sliders and they are insanely delicious. I love a good Cuban sandwich, but if you ask me what my favorite kind of sandwich is, I’d tell you, “the one in my hand”. I’ve always loved sandwiches and being able to indulge in the keto version is a dream come true.
There are a couple different regional variations on the Cuban sandwich. The Tampa version includes salami and so will these the next time I make them. One of my favorite things to do when eating a food that is so closely tied to a geographical location is close my eyes and imagine I’m there. I love to travel, but I can’t be gone all the time so these mini-vacations via delicious food are sometimes a much needed break in the middle of a long day.
In the comments section below, let me know what your favorite regional cuisine. Maybe there will be a keto version of it on Cast Iron Keto in the future.

These turned out sooo good BUT- the recipe says it makes 20-22 rolls. The recipe also says serves 12. Do I assume one serving is…? If one serving were 2 (of 12) rolls, then the total made should be 24 rolls. I ended up making exactly 20 rolls. I guess for now to play it safe, I’m calculating 1 roll out of 20 rolls = 1 serving. This math isn’t working out right based on the information provided.
It all depends on how large or small you roll the buns, so there is a little bit a leeway. If you rolled them out small enough to make 24, then you’d have exactly 24 rolls with 12 servings of 2, but they’d be too small for sliders. If you made 20 rolls you could either adjust the math for 10 servings of 2 rolls, or 12 servings of 1.67 rolls.
If you adjust to 10 servings of 2, the macros for the rolls would equal: 399 Calories / 19% Protein – 18 g / 77% Fat – 33 g / 4% Net Carbs – 4 g
