Who would have thought you could prep and cook your ribs in less than an hour? Well, now you can use an air fryer. Quick and easy for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 rack of baby back ribs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
Directions
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and dry the ribs with a paper towel. Cut the rack into 4 pieces. Mix olive oil and liquid smoke in a small bowl and rub on both sides of the ribs.
- Combine brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder in a bowl. Season both sides of the ribs generously with seasoning mix. Let ribs rest for 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
- Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Place ribs bone-side down in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching; cook in batches if necessary.
- Cook for 15 minutes. Flip ribs over (meat-side down) and cook an additional 10 minutes. Remove the ribs from the air fryer and brush the bone side of the ribs with 1/2 cup BBQ sauce. Place the basket back in the air fryer and cook for 5 minutes. Flip ribs over, brush meat-side with remaining 1/2 cup BBQ sauce; cook an additional 5 minutes or until desired char is achieved.
