Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Keto Pork Rind Panko
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush the pork rinds in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine pork rinds, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well with a fork.
  3. Ensure your proteins are dry. You can coat them with mayonnaise or beaten egg for better adhesion.
  4. Dredge your dry proteins in the mixture and press it on to ensure an even coating.
  5. Cook the breaded protein in hot oil for 4-5 minutes on each side or bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy.
  6. Store any leftover panko in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
