Provided by Ben Mims

Categories     Pork Rib     Grill/Barbecue     Meat     Pork     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Kid-Friendly     Small Plates     Air Fryer

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/4 pounds individually cut St. Louis-style pork spareribs

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the salt, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, poultry seasoning, mustard powder, and pepper. Add the ribs and toss and rub the seasonings into them with your hands until they're fully coated.
  • Arrange the ribs in the air fryer basket standing up on their ends and leaned up against the wall of the basket and each other. Cook at 350°F until the ribs are tender inside and golden brown and crisp on the outside, about 35 minutes. Transfer the ribs to plates and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose pork ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the ribs are tender and flavorful.
  • Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the ribs cook more evenly and will also make them more tender.
  • Season the ribs generously with a dry rub. This will help to enhance the flavor of the ribs and create a delicious crust.
  • Cook the ribs in the air fryer at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to create a crispy crust and juicy interior.
  • Baste the ribs with barbecue sauce during the last few minutes of cooking. This will help to caramelize the sauce and give the ribs a delicious glaze.
  • Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the ribs, making them even more tender.

Conclusion:

Air fryer BBQ pork ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a casual family dinner. With a little bit of planning and preparation, you can make air fryer BBQ pork ribs that will impress your friends and family.
