Ingredients
- 1 3 lb rack of pork baby back ribs cut in half, membrane removed
- 3 Tablespoon bbq rub
- ½-1 cup bbq sauce
Instructions
-
Season the ribs with bbq spice rub, covering both sides of the ribs.
-
Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit for a few minutes, then place the ribs in the air fryer basket, meat side down and cook for 20 minutes.
-
Once the 20 minutes is up, grab a pair of tongs and flip the ribs over, and cook for an additional 10 minutes on 380 degrees.
-
Once the timer is up, open the basket and cover with the bbq sauce. Return to Air fryer and cook for 5 minutes on 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Remove and allow the ribs to rest for a few minutes. Feel free to cover with additional bbq sauce if you like saucy ribs.
Notes
- The cook times in this recipe are for pork baby back ribs. Beef ribs will likely take longer to cook.
- I used my large air fryer (5.3qt) to ensure all my ribs would fit into the basket.
