- 1 tbsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Garlic powder

- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
Directions
Step 1
1. Begin by preheating the oven to 160°C (320°F).

Step 5
5. Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil and place a wire rack over the pan. Position the pork belly on the rack, skin-side up.
Step 6
6. Pour 1 cup of water into the base of the roasting pan to prevent the drippings from burning and to keep the meat moist during cooking.
Step 7
7. Roast the pork belly in the preheated oven for 90 minutes.
Step 8
8. After 90 minutes, remove the pork belly from the oven and increase the temperature to 220°C (430°F).
Step 9
9. Use a paper towel to dry any moisture on the skin of the pork belly for maximum crispiness.
Step 10
10. Return the pork belly to the oven and roast for an additional 30 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crispy to your liking.
Step 11
11. Once the pork belly is crispy, remove it from the oven and brush it with apple cider vinegar using a pastry brush for added flavor.
Step 12
12. Allow the pork belly to rest for 10 minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy the delectable combination of soft meat and crispy skin.
