Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb pork belly

Marinade Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoon soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Wash and dry the pork belly, and if there is any hair, scrape that off. Cut the pork belly into ~1" sized strips.
  • Place the marinade ingredients in a bowl and stir well to combine.
  • Add the pork belly strips to the bowl and coat them well with the sauce.
  • Place the pork belly strips onto the top rack of your air fryer and cook for 18 minutes at 390F. Flip the pork belly strips and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes at 400F to crisp up the pork belly even more (cooking time will depend on the size of your pork belly and your air fryer).

Notes

  1. Try and cut the strips of pork belly into the same size so that they cook at the same rate.
  2. Nutritional values are an estimate and will vary depending on the exact ingredients used.
  3. Store any leftover cooked pork belly in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
