Ingredients
 
 

  • 1-1.5 kg skin-on boneless pork belly
  • salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the skin making sure you don’t cut past the fat layer.
  • Pat the pork belly dry with paper towels. This helps to ensure a crispy skin.
  • Season the pork belly generously with salt and place on a wire rack set over a baking tray, skin side up.
  • Roast the pork belly in the preheated oven for 1 hour then increase the oven temperature to 220°C on the grill ensuring the pork belly is in the bottom half of the oven. Cook for a further 30 minutes or until the skin is crispy and the middle is cooked through.
  • Once cooked, remove the pork belly from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
