Ingredients
- 1 rack pork baby back ribs
- 2 Tablespoons pork spice rub or spices below
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
Optional seasoning mix
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Use a sharp knife to peel the silver skin membrane off the back of the ribs.
- Cut the ribs to fit in your air fryer basket. Depending on the size you might not be able to fit an entire rack of ribs.
- Coat the meaty side of the ribs with the spice rub, pressing it into the top.
- Set the air fryer at 380 degrees F for 20 minutes. Put the ribs in the basket, bone side up.
- When the cooking time is up flip the ribs over so the meaty side is up. Cook at 380 F for another 10 minutes.
- Use an instant read thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the meat has reached 195 F. If not return it to the air fryer to cook longer.
- Brush the top of the ribs with the BBQ sauce. Set the air fryer at 400 F for another 3 minutes of cooking.
