Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork skin
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place the pork skin on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to trim any excess fat, leaving a thin layer on the skin for flavor.
Step 3
Cut the pork skin into small strips or squares, about 1-2 inches in size.
Step 4
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the pork skin pieces and parboil them for 5 minutes. This helps to render some fat and cleanse the skin.
Step 5
Drain the pork skin pieces and pat them dry with paper towels, ensuring they are as dry as possible.
Step 6
Spread the pork skin pieces out evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching each other.
Step 7
In a small bowl, combine the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the pork skin pieces.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 2 hours, or until the pork rinds are golden brown and crispy. Check occasionally and rotate the tray if necessary to ensure even cooking.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the pork rinds from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 10
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to one week.
