Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Belly

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the pork belly on a cutting board, skin-side up, and score the skin with a sharp knife in a crosshatch pattern. Pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Pork Belly

    Rub salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika all over the pork belly, ensuring it gets into the score marks.

  3. 3

    Add the Marinade

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Brush this mixture over the pork belly.

  4. 4

    Roast the Pork Belly

    Place the pork belly in a roasting pan, skin-side up. Roast in the preheated oven for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and the skin is crispy.

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Once done, remove the pork belly from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve hot.
