Ingredients
  • 1 lb (500 g) pancetta
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1½ tbsp salt
  • 1½ tbsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp Chinese cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1½ tsp onion powder
Instructions
  • First of all, dry the pancetta well with paper towels. Any moisture on the fat makes it difficult for a crispy crust to form.
  • Score the meaty (not fatty) side of the pancetta by making cuts two fingers wide and one deep (do not cut the fat), first vertically and then horizontally. The idea is that scoring the meat will make the seasoning penetrate well and adhere to the meat.
  • Mix dry ingredients for dressing. Sprinkle the meaty side with the seasoning, making sure that it also adheres well to the scoring.
  • Turn the pancetta over and clean, making sure that there is no seasoning on the fatty side. Dry well again and brush the fat with white wine vinegar (this will help the dehydration process).
  • Once the pancetta is seasoned, make a small sort of dish out of aluminum foil to retain the juices and moisture from the meaty side in the pancetta.
  • On the Instant Vortex control panel, press Roast, then set time to 30 Minutes and temperature to 250°F (120ºC). When Add Food appears on the display, place the pancetta on foil in the air fryer. This option will allow the fat to dry out.
  • Once the first part is completed, take out the pancetta. Brush some olive oil over the fat and add salt to taste (for a golden crust).
  • On the Instant Vortex control panel, press Air Fry, then set time to approximately 30 Minutes and temperature to 395°F (200°C). Press Start. When Add Food appears on the display, place the pancetta back in until the time is up.
