    This nut free keto breading can be whipped up in 5 minutes and is incredibly versatile. It is perfect for breading chicken tenders, fried fish, chicken fried steak, or anything else you would want to bread and deep-fry or bake. It is also terrific as a binding agent for things like meatloaf or any other savory recipe that calls for breadcrumbs.

    Nut Free Keto Breading

    Ingredients in Nut Free Keto Breading

    Ingredients for a keto breading mixture - pork rinds, parmesan, onion powder, garlic powder, salt,Italian seasoning

    Ingredient Notes

    • Pork Rinds - The measurement in the recipe is for crushed pork rinds. You can buy pork rinds and pulse them in your food processor, or you can buy them already crushed. (This is the brand I use)
    • Parmesan Cheese - I used a finely grated parmesan cheese. If you want to keep this recipe dairy free, you can substitute extra pork rinds, or blanched almond flour.
    • Salt - If you are using salted pork rinds, I recommend omitting the salt in the breading.
    • Seasonings - I add garlic powder, onion powder, and dried Italian seasoning to amp up the flavor. If you are breading a food that is already very flavorful, you can omit the extra seasonings.

    Step By Step Directions

    How to Make Keto Breading

    1. Add the pork rinds, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and salt to a mixing bowl. (Use this breading on Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu)

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What types of food can I make with this keto breading?

    You can use this breading for anything you would normally bread with breadcrumbs, crackers, or Panko. Some of my favorite recipes are Keto Buffalo Chicken Tenders, Chicken and Waffles, and Keto Chicken Fried Steak

    What can I substitute if I don't like pork rinds?

    You can sub an equal amount of blanched almond flour. Additionally, you can also use golden flaxseed meal.

    Can this be made ahead of time and stored?

    Since it has parmesan cheese in it, I recommend using this the same day that you make it.

      I used this to make a low carb chicken fried chicken and then I used your sausage gravy recipe from your book to go with it. The whole family loved it. Thank you
