What are Pork Rinds
Have you ever eaten pork rinds before? They are roasted or fried pig skins, depending on how you want to prepare them. Sometimes, you’ll hear the term “chicharrones” used to reference pork rinds. They are the same thing!
Although pork rinds contain high amounts of protein and fat, they have no carbohydrates. That is why they’re considered an excellent snack for people on a keto diet.
How to Sweeten the Keto Pork Rinds
If you’re not on a keto diet and don’t care about consuming carbohydrates, then you can prepare your cinnamon pork rinds with sugar. Those who want to cut out carbohydrates from their diets can use a natural sugar compound like erythritol.
It is found naturally in certain foods like swerve and monk fruit. Your local grocery store should sell these natural sweeteners, but you can always purchase them from Amazon if they don’t.
