Pork belly in the air fryer

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds pork belly
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp white vinegar (for crispy skin)
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika (optional for color)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pork Belly:
   • Score the pork belly skin with a sharp knife, being careful not to cut into the meat.
   • Pat the pork belly completely dry with paper towels.
2. Season the Meat:
   • Rub the meat side (not the skin) with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
   • Lightly brush vinegar over the skin side to enhance crispiness.
3. Bake for Crispy Skin:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Place the pork belly on a baking rack, skin side up, with a tray underneath to catch the drippings.
   • Bake for 45 minutes, then increase the heat to 425°F (220°C) for 15–20 minutes until the skin is bubbly and crispy.
4. Rest and Serve:
   • Let the pork belly rest for 10 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
   • Pair with hoisin sauce, steamed buns, or roasted vegetables.
