AIR FRYER RIBS
Steps:
- Cut the rack of ribs in small sections such that they fit your air fryer basket.

AIR FRYER SPARERIBS
We used an air fryer to turn spareribs into a quick and easy weeknight dinner. Separating the ribs helps them to fit in the fryer, cook quickly and get an even, golden crust all over. Make sure you dip them in the warm barbeque sauce immediately after they are done cooking--they'll absorb more flavor while still hot.

Steps:
- Whisk together 1 tablespoon salt, 2 tablespoons pepper and 1 teaspoon of the paprika in a large bowl until well combined. Add the ribs and toss to coat, pressing the seasoning into each rib.
- Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 350 degrees F. Transfer the ribs to the fryer basket and cook until the ribs are tender and golden brown, about 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the ketchup, cider vinegar, white vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire, hot sauce, 2 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons pepper, 3/4 cup water and the remaining 2 teaspoons paprika in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is melted and the sauce is warmed through, about 2 minutes. Cover and keep warm over low heat.
- Once the ribs are cooked, dip each one into the sauce, letting any excess run off. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side.
AIR FRYER CORN RIBS
This is my fun take on air-fried elote ribs. Cutting the corn this way causes them to curl up in the shape of ribs once cooked. This also makes the corn a lot easier to handle and eat, not to mention a lot less messy.

Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs or spare ribs are good for air frying. You can use a whole rack of ribs or cut them into smaller pieces.
- Season the ribs well: Use a flavorful rub or marinade to season the ribs before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the ribs.
- Cook the ribs at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the ribs while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Cook the ribs for the right amount of time: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the ribs and the desired level of doneness.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The ribs are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the ribs rest before serving: This will help to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the ribs, making them more tender and flavorful.
