Crispy Pork Belly Roll
8 to 10 pounds whole pork belly, skin on
2½ tablespoons sea salt, divided
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
1 teaspoon cracked black red peppercorns
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon baking powder
12 pieces foot-long kitchen twine
- Place cut kitchen twine on a large baking sheet 1 inch apart.
- Wash and dry belly thoroughly with paper towels. Score the meat side half an inch deep in a crisscross pattern 1 inch apart. Mix 1¼ tablespoons salt, minced garlic, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and rosemary, and rub the meat side all over. Form into a roll and place on top of the twine. Tie the roll beginning from the outside. Mix the remaining salt and baking powder; rub all over the skin. Leave in refrigerator uncovered for 1 up to 3 days to dry out the skin.
- On the day of roasting, preheat oven to 400° F. Place pork roll on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast for 10 minutes; lower heat to 300° F and roast for 2 hours and 15 minutes. Increase heat to 500° F and roast for another 40 minutes.
- Remove from oven, tent with foil, and let the pork roll rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
