Ingredients
- 900 g (2 pounds) pork ribs (or a rack of ribs)
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 2 tbsp brown sugar or Sukrin Gold
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp sweet paprika
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp coarse salt
- ½ tsp ground pepper
- 125 g (½ cup) bbq sauce, or as needed
- Oil spray as needed
Instructions
- If you are using a rack of ribs, you will need to remove the thin membrane that covers the bony side of the ribs. Slide the tip a knife blade under the membrane to loosen and pull it off – it should come off quite easily. Cut the rack in two or three pieces so that it fits into the air fryer.
- Combine the spices, herbs and seasoning. Mist the ribs with a little oil using a spray bottle and cover the ribs with the dry rub on both sides.
- Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for 3 minutes. Place the ribs in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 20 minutes, flipping them over halfway through.
- Brush the ribs liberally with the barbecue sauce and air fry for another 5-10 minutes or until they are sizzling. Rest for 3-5 minutes then slice and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
