Keto Crispy Pork Belly

Ingredients

• Pork Belly (skin on)1.5 pounds
• Olive Oil1 tablespoon
• Sea Salt1 tablespoon
• Garlic Powder1 teaspoon
• Paprika1 teaspoon
• Black Pepper1/2 teaspoon
• Spices or Seasonings (of your choice, optional)

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. 2Using a sharp knife, score the skin of the pork belly with shallow diagonal cuts, making a crisscross pattern. Ensure that you only cut through the skin and not into the meat.
3. 3In a small bowl, combine the sea salt, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and any additional spices or seasonings you prefer.
4. 4Rub the spice mixture all over the pork belly, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.
5. 5Place the pork belly on a wire rack set inside a baking dish or roasting pan, with the skin side facing up. The wire rack will allow for better air circulation and help achieve a crispy texture.
6. 6Drizzle the olive oil over the skin, using your hands to spread it evenly.
7. 7Bake the pork belly in the preheated oven for approximately 2 hours, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown. If needed, you can switch to the broil setting for the last 5 minutes to achieve extra crispiness.
8. 8Once cooked, remove the pork belly from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
9. 9Cut the pork belly into thick slices and serve hot. You can pair it with a side salad or steamed vegetables if desired.
