Air Fryer Pork Belly
Ingredients
1½ pounds pork belly
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 teaspoons of flaked salt
Directions
Make shallow cuts on the pork belly skin using a sharp knife. Take care not to go through the meat. Rub a teaspoon of salt into the scores in the skin until it’s evenly distributed. Leave it on for ten minutes before carrying on with your next step.
On a plate, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 teaspoons of salt. Mix well.
Preheat your air fryer to 320 F (160 C). Gently remove the excess moisture from the pork belly, then dip it into an oil/salt mixture to coat evenly. Put the pork belly in the air fryer with the skin facing upward.
Fry at 320 F (160 C) for 30 minutes. When the timer goes off, increase the heat to 390°F/ 195°C and let your pork belly fry for a further 5-10 minutes to achieve great results.
After taking fried pork belly out of your air fryer, let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors and moisture to go back into the dish. After allowing the pork belly to be at rest, use a sharp knife to cut it while keeping the skin facing downwards on a cutting board.
