    Greetings 👋

    Today I'm going to talk about one of my favorite subjects: Keto snacks.  I might sound like a broken record on this point, but the fact remains, snacks are EVERYTHING when you are on a low-carb diet.  If you don't have a Keto-friendly snack handy when you are feeling peckish, then it's easy to reach for a bag of chips and wreck your whole diet.  So it's great to have treats like Cinnamon Sugar Keto Pork Rinds on hand for just such situations.

    💬 Keto Dieters Often Ask 

    What are pork rinds?

    Pork rinds, also called chicharrones, are pork skins that have been either boiled or slow-cooked, drained, and then deep-fried in oil.  This process makes a puffed-up snack with a salty taste and a wonderful crunch.  Because of their crispness, fried pig skin often acts as a replacement for popcorn, crackers, or tortilla chips.  

    Are pork rinds Keto-friendly?

    Yes, very!  Pork rinds are a zero-carb food.  That's right, 0 net carbs.  The big 0.  So they make a great low-carb snack when you are on a Keto diet.  They will not cause any blood sugar spikes, so you will stay in the state of Ketosis.  It's a way to counteract your cravings for crispy high-carb high-fat fried foods.

    What are the best flavors of pork rinds?

    Keto pork rinds basically act like a potato chip substitute, so you'll find the same flavors you would find in potato chips.  You can buy BBQ, Pizza, Nacho Cheese, Sour Cream and Onion, Salt & Vinegar, and Sea Salt & Black Pepper flavors of Keto pork rinds in grocery stores and on Amazon.  You can even buy chicken skin that is prepared like pork cracklings.

    🥣 Pork Rind Dips

    You can dip Keto pork rinds in anything you might normally eat with potato chips or crackers. Just make sure that the dips are low carb.  So some good Keto recipes are Cauliflower Hummus, Salsa, and Queso Cheese Dip.  

    🐖 Pork Rind Panko

    Because of their crisp texture, pork rinds work great as panko breadcrumbs.  And in addition to being low carb, they are gluten-free.  Some great pork rind panko recipes on this site are Keto Chicken Strips and Keto Fried Pickles.

    😍 Sweetened Pork Rinds

    Savory pork rind flavors are great, but have you ever tried sweetening Keto Pork Rinds?  It might sound a little funny, but if you are on a Keto diet, I'm sure you've tried weirder things.  These Cinnamon Sugar Keto Pork Rinds have the taste and texture of Taco Bell Churros.

    So let me show you how to make them.

    And that's all she wrote!

    In two shakes of a lamb's tail, you can mix up a batch of Cinnamon Sugar Keto Pork Rinds. These zero-carb beauties will tide you over until the food comes. Or try one of the savory suggestions I mentioned. Nothing better than pork rinds and queso.

    Alright, time for me to say goodbye.

    Adios chicharrones!

      I've been keto for nearly 5 years and tried a lot of recipes. Hands down, this could be the best ever! I love the muddy buddies but think that I like these better. So rich and filling. I will be making another batch when these are gone. Thanks so much!

        Yes, unfortunately, this is a recipe that is best eaten right after you make it. The cinnamon crisps have a tendency to go soggy as the melted butter seeps in and softens them. One thing I've done in the past is to bake them in the oven for a few minutes to try and perk them up a bit. It's not as good as when you first make them, but they're less soggy. I can't remember the exact temperature and time that it took, so you'd have to experiment a little. I put them in the oven, turned it on to 350 degrees F and just kept checking in on them until they seemed done enough to eat. Sorry I don't have a better answer for soggy crisps, but they are so easy to make, that it is still a quick snack.
