Ingredients
- 1 piece pork skin
- to taste salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C).
- Place the skin on parchment paper — this makes cleanup much easier.
- Leave the skin in the oven for 1.5 to 3 hours. It should be crispy but not rock-hard, so check on it after 1.5 hours.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven, let it cool, and it’s done. The rinds taste best while still a little warm. If the skin had lots of fat, you’ll get a dry side and a soft, fatty side — the combination is especially tasty.
