Crispy, fatty, very flavorful pork belly slices are perfect as a first course, or try them for breakfast instead of bacon.

Ingredients

  • 12 thick pork belly strips ((1/2-inch thick, 4 oz each raw weight) )
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Place the pork belly strips in the pan, in a single layer. Sprinkle them with the seasonings.

  3. 3

    Roast until browned and crispy, 30 minutes on the first side, and 20-30 more minutes on the second side. Drain the pan midway through baking, saving the rendered fat in a jar if you wish.
