Pork Belly Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Pork Belly
Score the skin of the pork belly in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. This will help the fat render and the skin to crisp up.
- 2
Season the Pork Belly
Rub the pork belly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Ensure the seasoning covers the entire surface of the meat.
- 3
Marinate
In a bowl, mix the apple cider vinegar, honey, and soy sauce. Pour this marinade over the pork belly in a dish, cover, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- 4
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- 5
Roast the Pork Belly
Place the marinated pork belly in a roasting pan, skin side up. Drizzle with olive oil and roast in the preheated oven for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and the fat has rendered.
- 6
Crisp the Skin
After the pork belly is tender, increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C) for the last 20-30 minutes to crisp up the skin. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- 7
Rest and Serve
Once finished, remove from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
