Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork skin with fat attached
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F) or as high as your oven can go.
Place the pork skin on a flat surface and use a sharp knife to score the skin at 1cm intervals. Be careful not to cut into the meat itself.
Pat the skin dry with a paper towel to remove any moisture, which will help the crackle crisp up.
Rub the olive oil over the pork skin, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Sprinkle sea salt generously over the scored pork skin. Press the salt into the cuts to penetrate the skin and enhance flavor.
Add a dash of black pepper according to taste preferences.
Line a baking tray with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This allows the hot air to circulate around the pork skin.
Place the pork skin on the wire rack, skin side up. The wire rack helps elevate the pork skin for even airflow and crispiness.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes at 250°C, checking to ensure the skin starts to bubble and become golden.
Lower the oven temperature to 160°C (320°F) and continue roasting for another 60 to 70 minutes. The skin should turn a beautiful golden-brown color and become crunchy.
Once cooked, remove the pork crackle from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before cutting it into bite-sized pieces.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sugar-free pork crackle as a snack or accompaniment to your favorite dishes.
