Keto Pork Recipes That Are Surprisingly Easy

Pork is underrated on keto. Chops cook in under 15 minutes, pulled pork feeds the whole family for days, and sausage adds flavor to everything from breakfast to sheet pan dinners.

I brine my pork chops for 30 minutes before cooking — it’s the only way to keep them juicy without breading. For pulled pork, I use the Instant Pot with a simple dry rub and it’s done in an hour.

From instant pot pulled pork to crispy chops and sausage skillets, these keto pork recipes are easy and affordable.

Best for Slow cooker, pulled pork, chops, breading

Keto sub Chicken thighs substitute well in slow cooker pork recipes. For pork rinds in breading, a mix of parmesan and almond flour delivers a similar crunch.

Storage Raw: refrigerator 3–5 days for chops and roasts, 1–2 days for ground. Cooked: 3–4 days refrigerated, up to 3 months frozen.

Pork shoulder is one of the most forgiving cuts I work with — it wants to be cooked low and slow, and the fat cap bastes the meat from the inside out. For pulled pork, I never drain the juices; I skim the fat, then add it back to keep everything moist. Pork rinds are also my secret weapon for keto breading — crushed fine, they out-crunch breadcrumbs every time.
