Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 rack baby back ribs about 1.5 pounds
  • 1 ½ Tbsp BBQ seasoning
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce plus more for serving

  • Pat dry ribs with paper towels, remove the membrane or score lightly with a sharp knife (see pictures above).
    1 rack baby back ribs
  • Season ribs with BBQ seasoning evenly on both sides.
    1 ½ Tbsp BBQ seasoning
  • When the Air Fryer is preheated, put the ribs in the basket with the meat side down. Air Fry for 25 mins, turning the ribs halfway through.
  • When time is up, brush BBQ sauce on both sides and cook the ribs for 5 more minutes at 400 degrees F until the sauce has set, and the internal temperature is 190 degrees F. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn!

  • Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes before serving with more BBQ sauce on the side.

Notes

Leftovers: Store leftover ribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. To reheat leftovers without drying them out put them in the Air Fryer for 4-8 minutes at 350 degrees F until they are heated through and serve with more BBQ sauce on the side.
