These low carb 3-ingredient pork bites remind me of the kind of thing neighbors used to bring to every backyard potluck when I was raising my kids out here in the country. They’re made from simple pork belly, the same cut old-timers used for their salt pork and bacon, but roasted hot until the skin turns into crackling and the meat stays juicy and rich. They’re the kind of crispy, savory bites that disappear in minutes once you set them on the picnic table, and they’re easy enough to throw together for a weeknight or the big family barbecue.
Serve these pork bites hot right out of the oven in the same glass baking dish you roasted them in, with toothpicks or small forks for easy nibbling. They pair nicely with crunchy coleslaw, sliced cucumbers in vinegar, or a simple green salad to cut through the richness. For a backyard spread, set them next to a tray of raw veggies and a tangy dip, or offer a small bowl of sugar-free mustard or hot sauce on the side. A cold pitcher of unsweetened iced tea or sparkling water with lemon balances their salty, savory flavor.
