Step 1
Pat pork belly dry with paper towels. Score the skin in a crosshatch pattern, cutting 1/8 inch deep.
Step 2
Rub all over with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Tuck rosemary, myrtle, and garlic underneath and between folds.
Step 3
Place skin-side up on a sheet pan. Squeeze lemon juice over the top and nestle lemon halves around the meat.
Step 4
Roast at 450°F for 22–25 minutes until skin is crackling and golden, edges blistered and caramelized.
Step 5
Remove from oven. Let rest 3 minutes, then cut into thick chunks. Serve hot with pan drippings.
