Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb side pork belly (raw, unseasoned)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the side pork belly under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
Slice the pork belly into approximately 1/2-inch thick strips.
Place the strips on a large baking tray lined with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the pork strips and rub it in to coat all sides.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture generously over the pork, ensuring even coverage.
Arrange the seasoned pork strips in a single layer on the tray, ensuring they are not overlapping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping the pork strips halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish!
