• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound pork belly (organic - pat dry with a paper towel. Cut in 1 inch cubes)

1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/8 teaspoon chipotle powder

1/4 teaspoon cumin (ground)

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)

1 tablespoon maple syrup (pure syrup)

Directions

In a small bowl, add the rub ingredients. Mix together with a fork or whisk.

Place pork belly pieces in a medium mixing bowl.

Add combined spices to the pork, along with the olive oil and maple syrup. Blend well with rubber spatula, making sure the pork belly cubes are completely covered.

Remove trays from the air fryer, preheat air fryer to 395 and set the cooking time to 15 minutes.If you have the basket type of fryer, leave the basket in while you preheat it.

Add the pork belly to the trays, leaving room between each cube.If you have the basket type, you may have to cook them in batches to leave room between each pork belly cube. You will add the pork belly to the basket once it comes to temperature.

Once the air fryer comes to temperature, add the trays to the air fryer.

At 7 minutes, switch the top tray to the bottom level and the bottom tray to the top level.If you have the basket type, shake after each 5 minutes of cooking (so twice), but don't worry that they're not touching after this point.
