For an extra crispy skin, you can broil the pork belly for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. Don't discard the rendered pork fat! It's liquid gold for roasting vegetables or adding richness to other dishes. If you don't have smoked paprika, regular paprika will work in a pinch, but the smoky flavor adds a wonderful depth.
