Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork belly
- 2 tablespoons Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Score the skin of the pork belly with a sharp knife, being careful not to cut into the meat. This will help the fat render and skin to crisp.
In a small bowl, mix together the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Rub the olive oil evenly over the surface of the pork belly, then apply the spice mixture, ensuring it gets into the scored areas.
Place the pork belly, skin side up, on a rack in a roasting pan. This will allow the air to circulate around the meat.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 2 hours or until the skin starts to bubble and turn crispy.
Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (232°C) and roast for an additional 30 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crisp.
Remove the pork belly from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice into 1-inch pieces and serve. Enjoy your Whole30 crispy pork belly with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
