Low Carb Ricotta Bites

As a kid my mother used to buy ricotta and we would eat it by spreading it on a slice of bread.  I do miss those days and miss eating ricotta. 

Now I still enjoy it, although it's out of the container with a spoon because I no longer eat bread.  I truly love these Low Carb Ricotta Bites smothered in a tomatoe sauce with some basil.

These little bites are very easy to make with just a few ingredients. 

You can add your favourite spices and herbs to the pork rind crumbs and make them as tasty as you want them to be.  I added salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried oregano. 

What You Need

The low carb ricotta bites are exactly what I need when craving something crispy and fried.  Plus this dish looks a little sexy when plated with some sauce and basil leaves.  Which also sets the mood to devour these all on your own 🙂

Whenever I enjoy a fried meal I finish it off with a great low carb dessert like my Nuthella Good Cake.
