Ingredients
- 1.5 kg pork roast
- 500g fresh green beans
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, enough to coat
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Paprika, to taste
Instructions
- Prep the Pork Roast: Pat the pork roast dry with paper towels. Rub the baking powder all over the pork. This helps to crisp up the skin. Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Don’t be shy, give it a good rub!
- Air Fry the Pork Roast: Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Place the pork roast in the air fryer basket, skin side up. Cook for 25-30 minutes per 500g, or until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F). Halfway through, flip the pork to ensure even cooking. If the skin isn’t crispy enough, crank up the heat to 200°C (400°F) for the last 5-10 minutes.
- Prep the Green Beans: While the pork is cooking, wash and trim the green beans. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Air Fry the Green Beans: Once the pork is done, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest. Increase the air fryer temperature to 200°C (400°F). Place the seasoned green beans in the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Serve: Slice the pork roast into thick, juicy slices. Serve alongside the crispy green beans.
There you have it, a low-carb meal that’s bloody fantastic. The pork is juicy, the skin is crispy, and the green beans are a perfect complement. Get in the kitchen and give it a go!
