Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the skin from the pork belly.
Slice the pork belly into strips of about ½ inch thickness, ensuring even cuts.
Dry the slices well with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange the pork belly slices in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Season the slices generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and cook for 40-50 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through.
If you prefer thinner slices, reduce the cooking time to 10-15 minutes per side.
Once cooked to perfection, remove the pork belly slices from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Serve the crispy and flavorful pork belly slices as a delicious appetizer, side dish, or main course.
