This delicious, tender air fryer pork roast recipe features the easiest crackling you'll ever make! Perfect for weeknight dinners, special occasions and even Christmas dinner.
Score the rind length ways. Rind can be quite hard to cut through, so you will have to carefully use a sharp knife. Make sure to only cut the rind, and not to cut through to the fat and meat underneath.
Pat the rind dry with a paper towel, and salt generously. Make sure to rub salt into the cuts you just made. Then, leave the pork roast to rest uncovered in a refrigerator skin side up for around 24 hours. Make sure to have a look at it once or twice while it rests, and wipe off any liquid that appears. This will ensure that the rind dries out completely.
Preheat your air fryer to 400 F / 200 C.
Transfer the pork roast to the air fryer, skin side up, and air fry until the internal temperature of the pork is 145 F / 63 C. The exact roasting time will vary, but you can find suggested times in the table below.
Remove the cooked pork roast from the air fryer, and leave it for about 15 minutes before you carve and serve.
