Pork Belly Slices Recipe
Description
This Pork Belly Slices Recipe starts with pork belly trimmed of skin and sliced into uniform ½-inch strips to ensure even cooking. The seasoning comprises sweet paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper, creating a savory-sweet dry rub that enhances the pork's rich flavor. The strips are coated thoroughly with the spice mix before being arranged on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Baking at 400°F first for 30 minutes, then flipping and cooking for an additional 20 to 30 minutes achieves a crispy, dark golden exterior and tender interior. The suggested technique for slicing pork belly upside down helps with ease and consistency. If buying pre-sliced pork belly, thinner slices should be checked earlier for tenderness. The resulting dish can be served as a flavorful protein addition or snack, boasting balanced spices and crisp texture.
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork belly cut into ½ inch strips - SEE NOTES, skinless
- 1 teaspoon paprika sweet
- ½ teaspoon onion powder each
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the pork belly into ½ inch strips and dry them well with a paper towel.
- In a small bowl, mix the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, brown sugar, salt, and pepper.
- Sprinkle the spices evenly over both sides of the pork belly strips then move the strips onto the baking sheet.
- Bake the pork belly strips for 30 minutes. Turn them over and then continue to cook them for another 20-30 minutes, until they're dark golden brown and crispy - SEE NOTES.
Notes
- For easiest slicing, turn pork belly upside down to slice from the meat side.
- Pre-sliced pork belly can be used; adjust baking time as thinner strips may cook faster.
- Check pork belly after 30 minutes of baking; if tender and well-browned, it can be removed.
