Pork Belly Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Pork Belly
In a bowl, mix maple syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt. Place the pork belly in a resealable bag, pour the marinade over it, seal, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Cook the Pork Belly
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the pork belly from the marinade and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Reserve the marinade. Cook for about 2.5 to 3 hours, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade.

Glaze the Pork Belly
Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Brush the pork belly with additional maple syrup and return it to the oven for an additional 20-30 minutes until the glaze is caramelized and crispy.
