Cut the pork belly into bite-sized pieces or strips.
Pat the pork belly dry with paper towels. This helps with crisping.
Season the pork belly pieces with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder and herbs.
Place the seasoned pork belly in a single layer in your air fryer basket, ensuring pieces do not overlap.
Air fry at 200°C for 12-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until deeply golden brown and crispy. Cooking time will vary based on thickness and air fryer model.
If using, brush the crispy pork belly with a tiny bit of honey or maple syrup during the last minute of cooking for a glossy, sweet finish.
Carefully remove the pork belly from the air fryer. Let it rest for a minute before serving.
💡 Royal Tips:
- 🌡️ For maximum crispiness, make sure the pork belly pieces aren't touching in the air fryer basket. Air needs to circulate!
- 🌿 Use fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme on the pork belly before air frying for an aromatic twist fit for a king (or queen)!
- 🔥 Want even crispier skin? Score the skin deeply before seasoning and air frying!
