Pork Belly Ingredients
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Pork Belly
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Score the skin of the pork belly in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.
- 2
Season the Pork Belly
In a bowl, mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and brown sugar. Rub the mixture all over the pork belly, ensuring it gets into the scored skin.
- 3
Prepare for Roasting
Place the pork belly in a roasting pan, skin side up. Pour the apple cider vinegar and water into the pan, avoiding the skin, and drizzle olive oil over the top.
- 4
Roast the Pork Belly
Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for about 2 hours. Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
- 5
Crisp the Skin
Continue roasting for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- 6
Rest and Serve
Remove the pork belly from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, preferably with your choice of side dishes.
