Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (392Β°F).
Score the skin of the pork belly with a sharp knife, being careful not to cut too deeply into the meat itself.
Pat the pork belly skin dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.
In a small bowl, mix together the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Rub the mixture all over the pork belly, including the sides, ensuring an even coating.
Place the pork belly skin-side up in a roasting pan.
Drizzle apple cider vinegar over the top of the pork belly. This helps to break down the fat and promote extra crispy skin.
Drizzle olive oil over the meat to add moisture and a hint of flavor.
Cover the roasting pan with foil tightly to keep the moisture in and place the pan in the oven.
Roast the pork belly for 90 minutes. This slow cooking process renders the fat perfectly, keeping the pork moist and juicy.
After 90 minutes, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 220Β°C (428Β°F).
Roast for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crispy. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Remove the pork belly from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork belly into desired portions and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
