Ingredients:
- 3 cups of pork rinds (preferably plain or lightly salted)
- 1/4 cup of melted beef tallow, butter, or ghee (choose your preferred animal fat)
- 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce (optional, adds flavor)
- 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard (optional, for tanginess)
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika (adds a smoky flavor)
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt (adjust to taste, depending on the saltiness of your pork rinds)
- 1 tablespoon of finely grated parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Pork Rinds:
In a large mixing bowl, add the pork rinds. Make sure they are broken into smaller pieces, if they’re in large chunks, so they will coat more evenly with the fat and seasonings.
3. Seasoning Mixture:
In a separate small bowl, combine the melted beef tallow (or your preferred fat), Worcestershire sauce (optional), and Dijon mustard (optional). Add in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir until the seasoning mixture is well-combined and smooth.
4. Coat the Pork Rinds:
Pour the seasoned fat mixture over the pork rinds and toss them gently to ensure that each piece is evenly coated. If you’re adding parmesan cheese, sprinkle it on at this point and toss again to distribute it.
5. Bake the Carnivore Crack:
Spread the seasoned pork rinds evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the pork rinds are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them, as they can burn quickly.
6. Cool and Serve:
Remove from the oven and let the Carnivore Crack cool completely on the baking sheet. This will help it crisp up further. Once cooled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Why This Works for the Carnivore Diet:
- Animal Fats & Protein: The pork rinds are high in protein and fat, both of which are staples on the carnivore diet. The fat used to coat them adds richness and flavor.
- Low-Carb & Zero Sugar: This recipe contains no carbohydrates or sugar, making it perfect for anyone following a strict carnivore or keto lifestyle.
- Addictive Crunch: The combination of crispy pork rinds and flavorful seasonings creates a snack that’s both satisfying and hard to stop eating.
