Equipment
Ingredients
- 1-1.5 kilogram pork leg roast size will depend on what will fit in your air fryer
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon course or flaky sea salt (not table salt)
Instructions
- Remove the pork from its wrapping and pat it dry with a paper towel. Place it on a plate, uncovered, in the fridge overnight to dry out. (If short on time, even 1 hour will help.)
- If tied and scored, consider removing the twine for better crackling. Score the skin further if needed to ensure evenness and pat the skin dry again with a paper towel. Rub olive oil over the pork then generously rub sea salt into the skin.
- Preheat the air fryer at 200ºC (400ºF) for a few minutes.
- Place the pork in the air fryer basket skin side up and cook at 200ºC (400ºF) for 30 minutes until the crackling forms.
- Reduce the temperature to 160ºC (325ºF) and continue cooking for 20-25 minutes per 500 grams (1 lb). For a 1kg pork roast, cook for an additional 40 minutes. The pork is done when the internal temperature reaches 70°C-75°C (160°F-170°F), depending on your preference for medium or well done.
- Wrap the cooked pork in aluminium foil and let it rest for 10 minutes. Carve into slices and serve with your favourite sides.
