You've not had roast pork until you've had roast pork from an air fryer. it's prepped in 5 minutes and on the table in an hour - and that crackling is something else!What's the best way to cook pork belly in an air fryer?The trick is to use two different cooking times. Firstly, start high to get that crackling nice and crisp - just how pork crackling should be! Then cook it lower so the pork retains its juiciness without the meat drying out. What we're aiming for here is dry crackling skin, but perfectly moist pork meat underneath.There's no need to boil or par-boil your pork first before adding it to the air fryer with this method, making it quicker and easier (and one of my favourite new ways to cook pork belly).Once you've mastered this recipe and you want to try new flavour combos, I highly recommend trying Matt Preston's air fryer pork belly bites with spiced, sticky dipping sauce.If you've not yet jumped on the air fryer bandwagon and this recipe has whet your appetite, check out Taste Test Kitchen's pick of the best air fryers to buy in Australia.
