- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds pork belly cut into 1-inch pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Ensure the air fryer is ready to cook for even, crispy results.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, maple syrup, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Toss the pork belly pieces in the oil mixture until each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Arrange the pork belly pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded for optimal air circulation.
- Cook the pork belly in the air fryer for 18-20 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes to promote even cooking and crispiness.
- Once the pork belly bites are golden brown and crispy, carefully remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
