Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Score the pork skin before roasting to help the crackling become crispy.
  • Season the pork generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or thyme.
  • Roast the pork at a high temperature for a short time to create a crispy crackling. Then, reduce the temperature and continue roasting until the pork is cooked through.
  • Let the pork rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meat more tender.
  • Serve the pork with traditional Bavarian sides, such as potato dumplings, sauerkraut, and red cabbage.
