Craving restaurant-quality pork belly without the restaurant price tag? Your air fryer is the answer! Knowing *how long to cook pork belly in the air fryer* is the key to achieving that coveted crispy skin and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.
Generally, you'll want to cook pork belly in the air fryer for around **20-25 minutes at 400°F (200°C)**. However, this can vary slightly depending on the thickness of your pork belly and your air fryer model. For thicker cuts (around 1 inch), aim for the higher end of the time range.
**Pro Tip:** Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket! Cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness. For extra crispy skin, score the skin before cooking and consider adding a few extra minutes at the end. Always use a meat thermometer to confirm the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption. Enjoy your perfectly air-fried pork belly!
