You then drizzle the meat with oil over the top and rub it in.”Then you want to want to sprinkle some garlic powder and some pepper over the top of that,” she adds.The pork belly will sit in the air fryer for 45 minutes total.

After you rub all that in, you then flip the meat onto a square-sized, aluminium foil cut out, where you will have bay leaves already on the foil.Pop the meat into the air fryer for 45 minutes on 200 degrees, but at the 35 minute mark, pause the fryer and add some brown sugar on the bottom, and then continue cooking for the remaining 10 minutes.”Adding that to the list of thing I can now serve up,” Jules finished with as she tasted the dish herself.”That’s like Christmas Day-worthy, that is so delicious.”
