Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound (454 g) country pork ribs
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 g) salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon (0.8 g) garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) pepper
  • 3 tablespoons (44 ml) bbq sauce
  • Cooking spray or olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Pat dry the pork ribs. Mix together the seasonings. Sprinkle liberally on the ribs.
  • Place the ribs in the air fryer basket and spray or brush with oil.
  • Cook at 375-380°F (190°C) for 14-16 minutes. The time will vary depending on the size of the ribs, so check them after 12 minutes to gauge progress. Baste with BBQ sauce.
  • Turn the ribs over and baste on the other side. Continue cooking at 400°F (200°C) for 2 minutes. Turn ribs over and cook another 2 minutes.
  • Transfer the ribs to a plate and cover with foil for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Your ribs might need to cook less or more depending on their thickness.
  • Check the internal temperature and make sure it’s reached 175-185°F.
  • You can use bone-in or boneless ribs. Bone-in will likely take longer to cook.
  • If you notice the BBQ sauce is burning, turn down the air fryer to 390°F.
  • Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Cook the ribs in batches if needed to ensure proper air circulation for even cooking.
  • For a well-rounded flavor profile, equally coat both sides of the ribs with the seasoning mix. For a more flavorful marinade, you can also let the ribs sit for a few hours.
  • Look for country-style ribs with good meat marbling rather than ones with a large amount of fat in one area. Their marbling will keep them from drying out and make them incredibly juicy.

All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
