Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 2 cups pork rinds, crushed
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the pork rinds in a food processor or sealed plastic bag and crush them into fine, uniform crumbs. Ensure the texture is similar to traditional breadcrumbs.
- Transfer the crushed pork rinds to a medium-sized mixing bowl with ample room for combining ingredients.
- Add grated Parmesan cheese to the crushed pork rinds, which will provide additional flavor and help bind the breading mixture.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika over the mixture to enhance the overall seasoning profile.
- Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, ensuring even distribution of the spices throughout the breading.
- Use a whisk or fork to thoroughly mix all ingredients, creating a uniform and well-seasoned breading mixture.
- For best results, store the breading in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. The mixture can be used immediately or kept for up to two weeks.
- When ready to use, dip your protein of choice into beaten eggs or a low-carb liquid coating before dredging in the pork rind breading mixture.
Tips
- Crush your pork rinds to a consistent, fine texture to ensure even coating and maximum crispiness.
- Use a food processor for the most uniform crumb size, but a sealed bag and rolling pin work great too.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different spice combinations like smoked paprika, dried herbs, or cayenne pepper.
- Store your breading mixture in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
- For the crispiest results, make sure your protein is thoroughly dried before dipping in egg and breading.
- Let breaded items rest for a few minutes before cooking to help the breading adhere better.
- When frying or baking, use a wire rack to prevent the bottom of your breaded item from getting soggy.
