It takes a few minutes and is easy. First, flip the ribs with rack-side facing up. Then carefully slide a knife under the silverskin. Lift and loosen the membrane off the bone, and then you can peel it off the back of the ribs easily.<\/p>\n<p>**Check frequently during the last few minutes so that your ribs won\u2019t get burned.<br \/>\nHow to bake it in the oven? It takes much longer to cook ribs in a traditional oven. Preheat oven to 300\u00b0F and bake for 3 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 185 deg F. Brush the ribs with BBQ sauce, and return to the oven. Bake for 30 more minutes. See my baked pork ribs recipe for detailed instructions.<br \/>\nHow to store the leftovers? Allow them to cool down completely and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.<br \/>\nTo reheat: Preheat your air fryer to 350\u00b0F and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until they are heated through. You can also reheat them in the oven by placing them on a baking sheet and cooking at 350\u00b0F for 10-15 minute<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-nutrition\">\n\t\t<h3 data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Nutrition<\/h3>\n\t\t<ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><strong class=\"tasty-recipes-label\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">Calories:<\/strong> <span data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\" class=\"tasty-recipes-calories\">540kcal<\/span><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n<footer class=\"tasty-recipes-entry-footer\">\n\t<h3 data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"footer-heading-color.color h3-transform.text-transform footer-heading.innerText\">Did you make this recipe?<\/h3>\n\t<div data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"footer-description-color.color footer-description.innerHTML\"><p>Share a photo and tag us \u2014 we can't wait to see what you've made!<\/p><\/div>\n<\/footer>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These Air Fryer Ribs are so tender, juicy, and flavorful but NOT fall-off-the-bone!
