Step 1

Remove your roast from the packaging and any netting and pat dry with a paper towel. With a small sharp knife, score the rind at 1cm intervals, being careful to not cut into the meat. Alternatively, get your butcher to score your rind for you.

Step 2

If time allows, leave the meat uncovered in the fridge overnight (but even just 1 hour will help dry the rind & assist in the crackling process).

Step 3

When ready to roast, rub the pork all over with olive oil. Next add a generous amount of salt to the rind, being sure to rub into the scores.

Step 4

Place the roast into the air fryer basket with the rind up and cook at 200c / 400F for 20 minutes, then 180c / 350F until cooked through (approx. 25 minutes for every 500g / 1lbs).

Step 5

Transfer the roast to a carving board or plate & allow to rest for 10 minutes. Carve and serve.
