Crispy Pork Belly Ingredients

Method

Crispy Pork Belly Directions

1

Prepare the Pork Belly

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Score the skin of the pork belly in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.

2

Season the Pork

Rub the pork belly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, ensuring the seasoning gets into the scored skin.

3

Cook the Pork

Place the pork belly in a roasting pan, skin side up. Pour water into the pan (not over the pork) and cover it tightly with aluminum foil. Roast for 2 hours.

4

Crisp the Skin

After 2 hours, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C). Drizzle olive oil over the skin and roast for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the skin is bubbly and crispy.

5

Rest and Serve

Remove the pork belly from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
