Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams pork skin
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Place the pork skin on a clean cutting board. Using a sharp knife, score the skin deeply in a criss-cross pattern without cutting all the way through. This will help the skin puff up and crispen.
Drizzle the olive oil over the pork skin and rub it into the cuts. Ensure the skin is well-coated.
Mix the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a small bowl.
Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the scored pork skin, ensuring it gets into all the cuts.
Place the seasoned pork skin on the prepared baking tray, skin side up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crispy.
Keep an eye on the crackle to prevent it from burning, especially during the last 10 minutes.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly on a wire rack.
Once cooled, break the crackle into bite-sized pieces and serve immediately as a snack or side dish.
