How to Make Low Carb 3-Ingredient Cinnamon Churro Pork Rinds
Ingredients:
- 3 oz plain pork rinds
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- 3 tbsp cinnamon sweetener blend
Directions:
Preheat an air fryer to 350°F. If you are using the stovetop method, warm a large dry skillet over low heat and line a tray or plate for holding the coated pork rinds.
Place the plain pork rinds in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle in the melted butter a little at a time, tossing gently after each addition, until the rinds look lightly glossy but not wet or heavy.
While the butter is still fresh on the surface, sprinkle in the cinnamon sweetener blend and toss again until the coating evenly clings to the rinds.
Transfer the coated pork rinds to the air fryer basket or to the warm skillet in a single loose layer. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes at 350°F, just until the coating looks set and the rinds are crisp and fragrant. Shake the basket once, or stir very gently in the skillet if needed.
Serve immediately or let cool for a minute or two before transferring to a bowl or tray. They are best the day they are made, while the coating is crisp and the texture is still airy.
How to Serve Low Carb 3-Ingredient Cinnamon Churro Pork Rinds

How to Store Low Carb 3-Ingredient Cinnamon Churro Pork Rinds

Tips to Make Low Carb 3-Ingredient Cinnamon Churro Pork Rinds
- Make sure not to overcoat the pork rinds with butter; you want them to be glossy, not soggy.
