Hi Anna. I’m so happy I bought the Eat Happy Too recipe book. I have tried several recipes in it and some off of your site. I’ve made cauliflower pizza crust, eggplant and now this pork rind one. All three were very tasty. This one, however, I had problems with sticking to the foil despite the massive drizzle of olive oil the recipe calls for. So I could not flip it over. I scraped what I could off and then reformed it, stuck it back in the oven. It never really got crispy for me so not sure how to remedy this. Maybe spray it with cooking spray or use parchment paper next time. It tasted very good but I will say I prefer the eggplant over all. It is fast, tasty and easiest to prepare.
Every single time this has happened with foil, the person didn’t use nonstick foil, per the recipe, but instead tried it with regular foil. Unfortunately, it will not work with regular foil, as many (including me) have learned the hard way!
Use parchment paper next time, and you will be golden, as nonstick foil has become incredibly hard to find post-pandemic!
XOXO

Yep, I am one of those too. I tried with nonstick foil and was a mess. I am always trying to reinvent the wheel or “just see what happens” haha Just follow the directions!!! Lesson learned!
Thank You Ana for all you do,
