Pork Rinds Recipe
These delicious pork rinds are low-carb and keto. They are a perfect snack for the family!
Ingredients
- 3-4 lbs pork back fat and skin
- cooking oil or peanut oil
- sea salt optional spices (paprika, garlic powder and onion powder)
- pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250F. Put a wire rack over a baking sheet or line the baking sheet with parchment paper to drain the excess fat while baking.
- With a sharp knife, cut the pork skin and fat into long strips, about 2 to 3 inches wide. Trim some of the fat. A thin layer of fat is okay, and adds to the flavor.
- Cut each strip into 2 inch squares or bite size. Arrange the pork rinds on the wire rack or parchment paper skin side up and fat side down.
- Bake for about 3 hours or until the skin is dried out.
- To cook the pork rinds in the pork fat, place the fat into a large saucepan over medium low heat. Cook it until it liquifies (around 2 hours).
- To cook in oil, heat it to a depth of ⅓ in the pan. Oil should be hot but not bubbling.
- When the baking time is up, add pork rinds and cook them until they bubble and puff up, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle immediately your choice of seasoning.
