Cajun Pork Rinds Recipe (1)

Well it finally happened, the Cowboy has gone low carb and venturing over into keto. He’s trying really hard to make some changes to his diet and the hardest thing for him to get over is snacking on chips. We’ve tried so many versions of “low carb” chips and puffs but none of them seem do the trick. He does like pork rinds and recently found a salt and vinegar flavor which he loves but the plain…well, they’re plain and getting old in the flavor department…so it was time to spice things up!

I know he loves my Keto Texas Trash with the jacked up pork rinds so I decided to make a spiced up Cajun version so he has something with a little more flavor and a little heat without all the maltodextrin and other food additives that are in many of the store bought flavored pork rinds! I think back in the 70’s they would have called these “deviled” pork rinds for the addition of all the spices, but whatever you want to call them…they are delish!

Quick confession…I have a slight obsession with pork rinds but they are a great vehicle for savory and sweet since they don’t have much flavor! If you r looking for a sweet treat Keto Muddy Buddies and Keto Cinnamon Crunch made with pork rinds are so goooood!!

This pork rinds recipe is so easy and full of flavor…the spicy coating completely transforms these crunchy morsels, so listen up!

Making Cajun Pork Rinds Recipe

Use your favorite brand of plain pork rinds….you are looking for ingredients with basically just pork skins and salt, none of that other yucky stuff. Pour them into a big bowl and break them up a little if they are really large. I like these to be bite size but you do you! Then, we melt some butter and mix in the spices..easy peasy.

My spice cabinet is literally full of Fiesta Brand Spices…they are readily available and great quality and price! To keep this pork rinds recipe super simple, I used the Fiesta Brand Cajun-All for a little Cajun flare along with some garlic and onion powder, a little extra paprika and some cayenne for some extra kick!

I also use the Cajun-All seasoning in my Keto Jambalaya with Andouille and Shrimp so it’s definitely not a one hit wonder….I use it all the time! It’s also great on grilled chicken, seared shrimp or even to add a little Cajun flare to steak! Highly recommend keeping this on hand!
