Carnivore Popcorn (Zero Carbs) Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 cups of pork rinds (crushed)
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter (or pork lard, if you prefer)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional for added flavor)
• 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional for smoky taste)
• 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• Freshly ground black pepper (optional, to taste)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)
• 

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pork Rinds:

   • If your pork rinds are whole or in large pieces, crush them into smaller, bite-sized pieces. You can do this by placing them in a ziplock bag and gently pounding with a rolling pin or using a food processor to break them into popcorn-sized chunks.

2. Melt the Butter:

   • In a medium skillet or saucepan, melt the butter (or pork lard) over medium heat. Let it melt completely and start to bubble slightly. If you’re using garlic powder or smoked paprika, add them to the butter now and stir for extra flavor.

3. Combine the Ingredients:

   • Once the butter is melted and seasoned, add the crushed pork rinds to the pan. Stir to coat the pork rinds evenly with the buttery seasoning. Let them cook for about 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

4. Season and Serve:

   • Remove the pan from the heat and immediately sprinkle the pork rind “popcorn” with salt and any additional seasonings like freshly ground black pepper or Parmesan cheese (if using).
   • Stir to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

5. Serve:

   • Transfer the crispy, savory “popcorn” to a bowl and enjoy! It’s perfect as a snack, party treat, or even a crunchy side with your carnivore meals.

Storage:

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. They might lose some crunch, so for best texture, consume them soon after preparing.

Serving Suggestions:

• As a Snack: Perfect for munching while watching a movie or just as a filling snack.
• As a Side: Pair with your favorite carnivore dish like steak, bacon, or roasted meats for a complete, satisfying meal.
