Step 1
Pat pork belly dry with paper towels. Score the skin in a crosshatch pattern, cutting just into the fat layer.
Step 2
Rub skin generously with salt, pepper, and cumin. Place skin-side up on a sheet pan. Roast at 425°F until skin blisters and cracks, ~22 minutes.
Step 3
While pork roasts, toss peppers, zucchini, and onion with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a second sheet pan.
Step 4
Add vegetables to the oven alongside pork. Roast until peppers char at edges and vegetables are tender, ~20 minutes.
Step 5
Remove pork from oven and rest 3 minutes. Slice into thick pieces, leaving the crackly skin intact.
Step 6
Arrange pork and roasted vegetables on a platter. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and serve hot.
