Pork Belly Ingredients
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Pork Belly
Start by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C). Rinse the pork belly under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
- 2
Season the Pork Belly
In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the pork belly, ensuring it's well-coated.
- 3
Sear the Pork Belly
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the pork belly skin-side down in the skillet. Sear for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

Roast the Pork Belly
Flip the pork belly so the skin side is facing up. If using, tuck the sprig of fresh rosemary around the pork. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 2 hours, or until the pork is tender.

Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the pork belly from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve it as is or with your favorite sides.
