Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 kg Pork belly
- 2 tablespoons Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
Pat the pork belly dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin.
In a small bowl, combine sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well.
Rub the spice mixture thoroughly over the entire pork belly, ensuring even coverage.
Place the pork belly skin-side up on a roasting rack over a baking tray lined with aluminum foil.
Mix the olive oil and apple cider vinegar together in a small bowl. Brush this mixture evenly over the skin of the pork.
Pour 1 cup of water into the base of the baking tray to help keep the pork moist during cooking.
Roast the pork belly in the preheated oven for 30 minutes to crisp the skin.
Reduce the oven temperature to 160°C (320°F) and continue roasting for another 3 hours, basting occasionally with the coconut aminos.
Check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 70°C (160°F) and the skin should be golden and crispy.
Let the lechon rest for 10 minutes before slicing into serving portions.
Serve warm, accompanied by your favorite keto-friendly side dishes.
