Carnivore Sweet Pork Rinds Snack
🍽️ Servings: 1–2 | ⏱️ Prep + Cook Time: 5–10 minutes
🧂 Ingredients:
-
2 cups pork rinds (plain, no added flavor or sugar)
-
1 tbsp butter or ghee
-
1 tbsp beef tallow (or extra butter)
-
1–2 tsp powdered egg white or unflavored collagen (optional “dust” for texture)
-
1–2 tsp sweetener (optional** — see below)
-
Pinch of salt
🍯 Optional Animal-Based Sweetener Ideas:
-
A few drops of pure liquid stevia or monk fruit (not strict carnivore, but tolerated by some)
-
Lactose-free dried whey isolate for a slightly sweet, cheesy taste (carnivore-ish)
🔪 Instructions:
-
Melt the Fat:
-
In a saucepan or skillet, melt butter and tallow together over medium-low heat.
-
-
Coat the Rinds:
-
Add pork rinds to a large mixing bowl.
-
Pour melted fat over rinds and toss well to coat.
-
-
Add Sweetness & Texture:
-
If using, sprinkle with sweetener and/or powdered egg white or collagen.
-
Toss again to evenly coat. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
-
-
Crisp It Up (Optional):
-
Spread coated rinds on a baking sheet.
-
Bake or air-fry at 325°F for 3–5 minutes for extra crisp and caramelized coating.
-
Watch closely to avoid burning.
-
-
Cool Slightly & Enjoy:
-
Let cool for a couple minutes — they’ll crisp up more as they cool.
-
🧠 Tips & Variations:
-
Add cinnamon if you’re animal-based and not strict carnivore.
-
For a protein-boosted version, sprinkle with grated hard cheese before crisping.
-
Try dipping in whipped carnivore cream cheese frosting (cream cheese + beef gelatin + sweetener).
Would you like a strict carnivore version with zero sweeteners or plant-based anything?
