Crispy Pork Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Belly

    Score the skin of the pork belly in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Rub the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder into the meat, ensuring to get it into the scored areas.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    Let the pork belly marinate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator for the best flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).

  4. 4

    Cook the Pork

    Place the pork belly in a roasting pan. Pour the water into the pan around the pork, then drizzle olive oil over the skin. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Crisp the Skin

    After 30 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 160°C (320°F) and continue roasting for another 1 hour, or until the skin is golden and crispy.

  6. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, let the pork belly rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve hot, and enjoy your crispy pork!
