I love using crushed pork rinds as a low carb alternative to breadcrumbs – I use them for coating pork tenderloin, a topping for spaghetti squash au gratin and even to give bacon some extra crunch! In fact, if you love pork rinds, check out these best low carb ways to use them!

How to Make Low Carb Asparagus Fries

Crush the pork rinds to a breadcrumb consistency. A food processor would do this job within seconds, but until the day comes when I don't have to do the dishes myself, I am content with placing them in a bag and manually breaking up the pork rinds with a rolling pin!

The finer they are crushed the better – it takes a little while but you can do this while the oven is preheating. Add grated Parmesan and onion powder to the bag, then shake to mix. Spread the mixture out onto a plate. Beat an egg and pour it out onto a separate plate. Place a rack over a baking tray and the assembly line is ready!

Snap off the woody stalk from each asparagus spear, roll it in the egg then press it into the pork rind mixture. Place it on the baking rack. Roast for 7-8 minutes until the coating is starting to brown and the asparagus is cooked.

Serve as a side dish to grilled chicken or a pork chop. Or it works great as a party food or appetizer if you can serve it immediately – it just needs some sour cream for dipping!
