Pork Belly Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Pork Belly
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Score the skin of the pork belly in a crisscross pattern, ensuring not to cut into the meat. Rub the pork belly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and drizzle with olive oil.

Cook the Pork Belly
Place the pork belly in a roasting pan and cook in the preheated oven for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and the skin is crispy. Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C) for the last 30 minutes to achieve a crispy skin.
