Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1000 g Pork belly
- 2 tbsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
1. Begin by preheating the oven to 160°C (320°F).
2. Place the pork belly on a clean surface, skin-side up. Using a sharp knife, score the skin in a crisscross pattern, ensuring not to cut into the meat.
3. Rub the salt thoroughly into the scored skin, ensuring it gets into the cuts. Flip over the pork belly and season the underside with black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
4. Drizzle olive oil over the seasoned side of the pork belly and rub it evenly across the surface.
5. Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil and place a wire rack over the pan. Position the pork belly on the rack, skin-side up.
6. Pour 1 cup of water into the base of the roasting pan to prevent the drippings from burning and to keep the meat moist during cooking.
7. Roast the pork belly in the preheated oven for 90 minutes.
8. After 90 minutes, remove the pork belly from the oven and increase the temperature to 220°C (430°F).
9. Use a paper towel to dry any moisture on the skin of the pork belly for maximum crispiness.
10. Return the pork belly to the oven and roast for an additional 30 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crispy to your liking.
11. Once the pork belly is crispy, remove it from the oven and brush it with apple cider vinegar using a pastry brush for added flavor.
12. Allow the pork belly to rest for 10 minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy the delectable combination of soft meat and crispy skin.
