Serves 4 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

Ingredients

Pork belly
1.5 pounds, skin-on
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Paprika
1 tablespoon
Garlic powder
1 teaspoon
Black pepper
1 teaspoon
Salt
1 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the pork belly dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to form the spice rub.
  4. Generously rub the spice mixture all over the pork belly, making sure to coat every inch for maximum flavor.
  5. Place the pork belly in the air fryer basket, skin side up, allowing space for air to circulate.
  6. Drizzle the olive oil over the pork belly, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
  7. Cook in the air fryer for 25-30 minutes, checking for crispiness. You may want to flip the pork belly halfway through for even cooking.
  8. Once cooked to a crispy perfection, remove the pork belly from the air fryer and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
  9. Serve hot, accompanied by a dipping sauce or your favorite side dish.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra kick, add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the spice rub.
  • 💡 Try serving the pork belly with a tangy apple cider vinegar sauce or a spicy chili sauce for added flavor.
