Ingredients

  • 1 pound pork skin
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • avocado oil for frying

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 300°F.
  • Carefully remove any lard you can without cutting through the skin.
  • Cut pork into 1-inch by 2-inch rectangular pieces.
  • Place pork skins on the baking sheet, fat side-down, in a single layer. Season with salt.
  • Bake until dried and crispy, about 1 to 2 hours.
  • Remove pork rinds from the baking sheet and drain on paper towels. Eat them as is or allow them to cool and deep fry them for added flavor.
  • Heat avocado oil in a dutch oven at 350°F (use a meat thermometer to check the temperature).
  • Fry the rinds in small batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for 1 to 3 minutes until they begin to get puffy. Push them down into the oil if they begin to float. Remove when cooked well and place on a paper towel to drain. Repeat with remaining pork skins.
