Enjoy the savory and smoky goodness of Traeger Pork Belly Twists, perfect for a delicious appetizer or snack. The combination of spices and slow smoking creates a flavorful twist on classic pork belly.
Ingredients: 2 lbs pork belly, thinly sliced. 1/4 cup brown sugar. 2 tablespoons smoked paprika. 1 tablespoon garlic powder. 1 tablespoon onion powder. 1 tablespoon black pepper. 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Wooden skewers, soaked in water.
Instructions: Set the Traeger smoker to a temperature of 250F 121C. To make the rub, combine brown sugar, onion, garlic, and cayenne pepper in a bowl along with smoked paprika. After slicing the pork belly thinly, spread the rub mixture evenly over the pork belly's two sides. Twist each pork belly slice and fasten with a wooden skewer dipped in water. Arrange the pork belly twists onto the grates of the Traeger smoker. Smoke the twists for two to three hours, or until they are 190 degrees Fahrenheit 88 degrees Celsius inside. Before serving, take them out of the smoker and give them some time to rest.
