AirFryer Porkbelly
Equipment
- AirFryer
Ingredients
- 700 g pork belly
- salt & pepper
- garlic powder
Instructions
- Start by patting dry the pork belly with some kitchen paper. It is as very important step to make sure you get that crispy pork skin.
- Score the skin of the pork belly lightly in a crisscross pattern. It helps to have a sharp knife for this step.
- Season generously with salt, pepper & garlic powder. This step it also comes down to personal preference & palette.
- Cook the pork belly in the Airfryer at 160°C (320°F).
- After 35 minutes of coooking, increase the temperature to 200°C (400°F) & cook for 10 minutes more. I recommend you keep an eye on it at this point, otherwise the skin might go to far & burn.
- Let the pork belly rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping the meat tender and juicy while maintaining crispy crackling.
- After the resting time, slice away & enjoy!
