Crispy Pastured Pork Jowl

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400F and set a wire rack over a foil-lined sheet pan.

  2. 2

    Lay the jowl slices on the rack and season with pepper.

  3. 3

    Roast 25-30 minutes, until deeply golden and crisp, brushing with maple in the last few minutes if using.

  4. 4

    Drain briefly on paper towels.

Notes

Farm tip: Jowl is fattier than belly bacon — roast it a little longer and let the fat fully render for maximum crunch.

Serving suggestion: Serve over creamy grits or a frisee salad with a poached egg.
