Keto Italian Pork Belly Slices
These Keto pork belly slices are oven-baked until tender, then finished under the broiler to crisp and brown the fat. Our easy Keto pork recipe is prepared with pork belly slices, tomato sauce, aromatic oregano, sweet balsamic vinegar, and a hint of maple-flavored syrup. These make a great Keto-friendly protein option served with your favorite low carb sides.
Can I Use a Different Sweetener?
We have used some low carb maple-flavored syrup to add a sweet flavor to our pork belly sauce. You can use any low carb syrup you desire or add some powdered sweetener if preferred. You may also omit the sweetener entirely if you wish and add a little extra tomato sauce or balsamic in its place. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.
Serving Suggestions
Our Keto pork belly slices make a great addition to a low carb burger, perfect sandwiched between a mushroom bun or layered in a lettuce wrap. Alternatively, serve with a hearty Italian inspired salad and some low carb cauliflower mash. You will find a range of inspiring accompaniments in our sides section.

This was delicious! I didn't have the maple syrup so I left it out and didn't substitute anything. So good even the kids loved it! Will definitely make it again!
