Zero-Carb Panko Breadcrumbs

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.

• Low-Carb Parmesan Chicken (instead of lupin flakes)
• Low-Carb Liver Dumpling Soup (added to meatballs)
• Keto Fish Fingers with Chimichurri Mayo (instead of almond flour)
• Low-Carb Czech Christmas Fried Fish (instead of almond flour and flax meal)

Step-by-step

1. Place the pork rinds in a food processor. Make sure that you don't include any burnt pork rinds (they will look dark golden) as even one could make the breadcrumbs taste bitter.

   

2. Process until powdered, for 25 to 45 seconds.

   

3. Place the breadcrumbs in a storage container. Add all of the spices, close with a lid and shake to combine (or keep them unseasoned if you like).

   

4. Store in your pantry for up to a month and use just like breadcrumbs.
