Indulge in crispy pork belly sliders with a rich maple sriracha glaze. Quick & easy, these sliders are your ultimate comfort food craving!
Ingredients
- • Pork belly: 1 pound, cut into 2-inch strips
- • Slider buns: 8
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • Sea salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Maple syrup: 1/4 cup
- • Sriracha sauce: 2 tablespoons
- • Soy sauce: 1 tablespoon
- • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Fresh cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped
- • Lime wedges: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2 Place the pork belly strips on a baking sheet lined with foil. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with sea salt and black pepper. Rub the seasoning into the strips to ensure even coverage.
- 3 Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the pork belly is crispy and golden brown. For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- 4 While the pork belly is roasting, prepare the glaze by combining maple syrup, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until the glaze thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- 5 Once the pork belly is done, brush each strip generously with the maple sriracha glaze, ensuring an even coating for maximum flavor.
- 6 Assemble the sliders by placing a glazed pork belly strip inside each slider bun. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an optional zesty kick.
Serving Suggestions
- • These crispy pork belly sliders are perfect for an indulgent dinner or a party appetizer. Pair them with a side of crunchy coleslaw or sweet potato fries for an added layer of texture and flavor. For a refreshing beverage, try serving with a chilled craft beer or a citrusy cocktail to complement the rich flavors of the sliders. If you're looking to elevate the presentation, consider adding a touch of microgreens or pickled red onions for extra color and tanginess.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover pork belly in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the strips on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until heated through and crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it may make the skin lose its crispness. The glaze can be stored separately and reheated gently on the stove.
