This recipe is perfect for meat lovers and is often served as a main dish, appetizer, or part of a festive meal.

Ingredients
- 1 kg pork belly, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a slightly sweet glaze)
Preparation
First, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Prepare the pork belly by patting it dry with paper towels. This step is very important to achieve crispy skin.
Place the pork belly cubes in a large bowl. Add olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, soy sauce, vinegar, and honey. Mix everything well so the meat is fully coated with the seasoning.
Arrange the pork belly pieces on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, making sure they are not too close together. This helps them roast evenly and become crispy.
Place the tray in the oven and roast for about 35–45 minutes. Halfway through cooking, turn the pieces so they brown evenly on all sides. For extra crispiness, you can broil them for 5 minutes at the end.
