Making keto breadcrumbs at home can't get any easier than this recipe! Zero-carb breadcrumbs made from scratch, using just one ingredient. And if you avoid the seasoning, they are carnivore too.

These are not the first keto breadcrumbs that I've created. You may have tried these Keto Breadcrumbs which are made from "real" keto bread. And if you want authentic breadcrumbs, that's the recipe you should try. The one drawback is that they take a bit longer to prepare. I don't always have time to prepare them so I was looking for an easier, quicker way to make breadcrumbs. Pork rinds are the answer!

Make sure you use dry, unsalted pork rinds, not pork cracklings. The way to tell them apart is that pork cracklings will have a layer of fat attached and the breadcrumbs made with cracklings would be too greasy and too salty.

And if you can't get pork rinds, you can always make your own. A reader who recently tried making them suggested that they can even be made in an air fryer which means no oil will be wasted!

How To Use Keto Breadcrumbs

You can use these zero-carb breadcrumbs just like you would my Keto Breadcrumbs. Use as coating before frying or baking (like in these Oven Baked Keto Southern Fried Chicken), or add to meatballs or meat patties to thicken.

I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. I had no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

That’s when I decided to quit sugar, grains, and processed foods, and to start following a whole-foods-based ketogenic approach to food.
