Air Fryer Pork Ribs
Description
These Air Fryer Pork Ribs begin by coating pork ribs with a dry rub containing brown sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and white pepper, which imparts smoky, sweet, and savory flavors. The ribs are cut into sections if needed and placed in a single layer in the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
The ribs are cooked initially at 380°F for 20 minutes on the meat side, then flipped and cooked for another 10 minutes. After this, a generous brushing of BBQ sauce adds moisture and a sticky finish. Cooking continues at 400°F for 5 minutes to set the sauce and create a glazed exterior. A brief resting period lets juices redistribute for tenderness.
This straightforward air fryer method produces pork ribs with a nicely seasoned crust, tender interior, and flavorful sauce coating, avoiding the need for a grill or oven. They can be served with additional BBQ sauce based on preference.
