Ingredients:

• 1 lb pork belly, skin-on
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• Optional: Soy sauce or teriyaki sauce for brushing

Instructions:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. Pat dry the pork belly with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried thyme to create a seasoning mix.
4. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the pork belly, including the skin side. Ensure the pork belly is evenly coated with the seasoning.
5. Place the seasoned pork belly, skin side down, in the air fryer basket. If your air fryer has a rack, you can use it to elevate the pork belly for better air circulation.
6. Air fry the pork belly at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes.
7. After 20 minutes, carefully flip the pork belly so that the skin side is facing up.
8. If desired, brush the skin side of the pork belly with soy sauce or teriyaki sauce for added flavor and caramelization.
9. Continue air frying the pork belly at 400°F (200°C) for another 10-15 minutes or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
10. Once cooked and crispy, remove the pork belly from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
11. Slice the air-fried pork belly into bite-sized pieces or strips.
12. Serve the crispy air fryer pork belly hot as a delicious appetizer or main dish.
