Air fryer pork belly strips are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, giving you that perfect balance of crunch and juiciness. Cooking pork belly in the air fryer is faster and less messy than deep frying, and it brings out the natural flavor of the meat beautifully. These strips are coated in a simple mix of seasoning that caramelizes as they cook, making them irresistible. You can serve them with rice, noodles, or roasted vegetables, or enjoy them as a snack with dipping sauce.

Tips & Tricks

• Pat the pork belly dry before seasoning for crispier skin.
• You can brush a little extra honey during the last 5 minutes for a sweet glaze.
• If you like spicy food, add chili flakes or hot sauce to the marinade.
• Cooking time may vary depending on thickness — thinner strips cook faster.
• Serve with garlic mayo, BBQ sauce, or a sweet chili dip.
