FOR foodies, Christmas is all about indulging in heaps of hearty dishes – and what better way to celebrate the festive season than with a juicy pork belly.
But as much as we love the dish, preparing pork belly can also be time-consuming – luckily, there is an easy way to speed up the process.
A group of foodies, from Australia, claimed you can make the festive classic in less than half an hour using an air fryer.
The step-by-step recipe was shared on TikTok and the team at Fabulous will definitely be giving it a go over Christmas.
According to taste.com.au (@taste.com.au), all you need is some pork belly, salt, oil spray, a few apples, as well as all the necessary ingredients for the festive glaze.
As demonstrated in the video, start by rubbing salt into the meat – do this to your taste.

Whilst these are cooking, prepare the glaze – for this, you will need to mix maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, sugar, mustard and mixed spice.
