Pork Belly Burnt Ends
Pork Belly with a lot of strict or less strict options for carnivores
Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Sharp knife
- food prep gloves optional
- cutting board
Ingredients
- 3 lbs pork belly strips cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tsp salt (all other additions are optional)
- 1 tsp pepper white pepper if avoiding oxalates
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp molasses
- anything else you might like!
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 390℉
- Slice pork belly strips into 1-inch pieces
- Season with all desired seasonings listed, or anything you can imagine you'd like. These are kind of BBQ flavored.
- Using food service gloves (or bare hands, if you're into that kind of mess), massage the ingredients onto the meat for even seasoning.
- Fry pork belly in air fryer for 5-7 minutes at a time, stirring them between turns for even cooking. I do mine 7 minutes at a time, 3 times. You may prefer them more or less burnt.
- Serve!
I love these things so much! The amount given in this recipe recipe just barely feeds me and my family as a side. Sometimes I make half that just for myself. I usually have these on my higher-fat days, with scrambled eggs (2 whole+4 yolks) or fried duck eggs.
