Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork skin
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 1 bottle Olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
Step 2
To prepare the pork skin, use a sharp knife to remove any remaining fat from the backside of the skin, leaving only the skin layer. This step is crucial to ensure that the pork rinds become crispy instead of greasy.
Step 3
Cut the pork skin into strips or small pieces, about 1 inch wide.
Step 4
Place the pork skin pieces into a pot of boiling water and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. This will help remove any excess fat and start the rendering process.
Step 5
Drain the pork skin pieces and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. Removing as much moisture as possible is critical for achieving a crispy texture in the oven.
Step 6
Transfer the dried pork skin pieces onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Step 7
Lightly spray the pork skin pieces with olive oil spray on both sides.
Step 8
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 9
Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the pork skin pieces.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 2 hours, or until the pork rinds are golden brown and crispy. Check them occasionally to ensure they're not burning.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let them cool completely; they'll crisp up further as they cool.
Step 12
Once cooled, enjoy your homemade low-fat crispy baked pork rinds as a snack or a crunchy topping.
