Air Fryer Adaptation: If cooking in an air fryer, cook in a single layer at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, shake the basket, then increase to 400°F (200°C) for 8 to 10 minutes until puffed and crispy.
Fat Management: Reserve the rendered pork fat from the baking pan! Strain it through cheesecloth and store it in a glass jar in the fridge for roasting potatoes or searing vegetables.
Prevent Smoke: Add 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of the roasting pan under the wire rack to prevent rendered pork fat from smoking during high-heat roasting.
