Ingredient Benefits
Crushed Pork Rinds
Pork rinds provide a crunchy texture and are a powerhouse of protein and fat with zero carbs. They're also naturally gluten-free and rich in collagen, supporting skin, joint, and gut health. As a base, they deliver both structure and flavor, making them a clever low-carb substitute for traditional flours.
Eggs
Eggs act as a natural binder, holding the crust together while adding structure and richness. They’re an excellent source of high-quality protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients like choline, which supports brain health.
Grated Parmesan Cheese
Parmesan cheese adds a savory, umami-rich flavor while contributing a crispy texture when baked. It’s low in lactose, high in calcium and protein, and brings a salty depth that elevates the overall flavor of the crust.
Garlic Powder
Garlic powder enhances the taste with its bold, aromatic flavor. It also offers potential health benefits including anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties.
Onion Powder (Optional)
Used optionally for an extra layer of flavor, onion powder adds a hint of sweetness and complexity. It contains antioxidants and compounds that support immune and digestive health.
