Pork Belly
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Pork Belly
Start by scoring the skin of the pork belly in a crisscross pattern. This will help the fat render and the skin to crisp up.

Season the Pork Belly
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Rub this mixture all over the pork belly, ensuring it gets into the scored areas.
- 3
Marinate
Cover the seasoned pork belly with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Cooking

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Prepare the Baking Dish
In a large baking dish, drizzle the olive oil and place the marinated pork belly skin-side up. Pour the apple cider vinegar around the pork belly.

Add Rosemary
Place the fresh rosemary sprigs on top of the pork belly for additional flavor.

Roast the Pork Belly
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the pork is tender.

Crisp the Skin
After the pork belly is tender, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Roast for an additional 20-30 minutes or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
