Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 ½ pounds pork belly, patted dry and cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 3 tablespoons canola oil

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

  • In a large bowl, mix together oil, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  • Add pork belly pieces and toss until evenly coated.

  • Arrange pork belly in a single layer in the air fryer basket (cook in batches if needed).

  • Air fry for 18–20 minutes, shaking and flipping pieces a couple of times during cooking.

  • Remove from air fryer and serve warm.

Notes

  • Pat pork belly dry before seasoning to help it crisp better.

  • Cut pieces evenly so they cook at the same rate.

  • For extra flavor, add smoked paprika, chili powder, or a splash of soy sauce.

  • Serve with dipping sauces like spicy mayo, barbecue sauce, or honey mustard.
