Ingredients

750g - 1kg pork belly
1 tsp vegetable oil
½ tsp garlic granules

Method

STEP 1
Heat the air-fryer to 200C. Pat the pork belly dry with kitchen paper or a clean tea towel, then score the top of the fat, being careful not to cut all the way through. Rub with the oil and season well with salt, pepper and the garlic granules. Lift the pork belly into the air-fryer, skin-side up and cook for 30 mins, until the skin starts to crisp up.
STEP 2
Turn the heat down to 180C and cook for a further 20-30 mins until the pork is cooked through and the skin has had chance to crisp fully.

I tried this today in my new power airfry pro oven but was unable to score the skin (arthritic hands and couldn't grip the knife!) but it still turns out lovely and crispy. After about 30mins I checked and there was an awful lot of fat which came off and started to overflow the shallow drip-tray, so…

NOT very helpfull, but I guess if you arre cookinga 200grm pork belly, you should ¼ your cooking time & use less spice per gram on your dish. This is just common sense.

I’m only cooking a 450gm belly of pork - how long in total should I cook it?

Hello, thanks for your question. We haven't tested this weight of pork in our test kitchen but we'd recommend trying 20 mins for the initial cook and 15-20 mins on the second cook. Please check the pork is cooked through before serving. Best wishes - Good Food Team.
