Carnivore Pork Belly Chips. These chips are crispy, flavorful, and perfect for anyone following a carnivore diet!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb pork belly, skin on
• Salt (to taste)
• Optional: garlic powder, onion powder, or black pepper (for added flavor)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the pork belly:

   • Pat the pork belly dry with paper towels. This is important for getting crispy skin.
   • Cut the pork belly into thin strips (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide) or cubes, depending on your preference. You can also score the skin in a crosshatch pattern to help it crisp up evenly.

3. Season the pork belly:

   • Sprinkle salt generously over the pork belly. You can also add optional seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or black pepper if desired, but sticking with salt keeps it purely carnivore-friendly.
   • Rub the seasoning evenly over all sides of the pork belly pieces.

4. Arrange the pork belly on a baking sheet:

   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
   • Arrange the pork belly pieces in a single layer, making sure they aren’t overlapping to ensure even cooking and crispiness.

5. Bake the pork belly:

   • Bake for 25-35 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through. The exact time may vary depending on the thickness of your pork belly and your oven, but you’re looking for crispy, golden-brown pieces with a crunchy texture.

6. Serve:

   • Once crispy and golden, remove the pork belly chips from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They’ll become even crispier as they cool.

Tips:

• Crispy Skin: If you want extra crispy skin, you can broil the pork belly chips for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
• Storage: These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days.

Enjoy these Carnivore Pork Belly Chips as a snack or as a side dish to complement your carnivore meals! They’re rich, crunchy, and full of flavor.
