The Spruce Eats

This slow-roasted pork belly is tender with a delicious crispy skin (crackling). All you need for the recipe are simple seasonings and olive oil.

Ingredients

2 pounds pork belly with skin

Dash of kosher salt

Dash of freshly ground black pepper

1 to 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Method

Gather the ingredients.

Heat the oven to 350 F/180 C. Place a rack (such as a cooling rack ) on a rimmed baking sheet. With a sharp knife, make several parallel cuts across the skin of the pork belly, 1/4 to 1/2-inch apart. Cut through the skin and fat but not into the meat.

Sprinkle the pork all over with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and rub it all into the pork.

Place the pork on the rack, skin-side up.

Roast for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until the meat is very tender and falling apart. Increase the heat to 425 F and roast for 20 to 25 minutes longer to crisp the skin even more.

Remove the pork from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice thinly, using the cuts in the skin as guides.
