BEST Air fryer baby back pork ribs

Ingredients:

• 1 rack of baby back pork ribs
• 2 tablespoons of your favorite dry rub or seasoning
• 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ribs:
   • Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Use a knife to loosen one corner of the membrane, then grab it with a paper towel and pull it off.
   • Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
2. Season the Ribs:
   • Rub the dry rub or seasoning evenly over both sides of the ribs. Make sure to massage the rub into the meat for maximum flavor.
   • If you have time, let the ribs marinate in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight for enhanced flavor.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
4. Air Fry the Ribs:
   • Place the seasoned ribs in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping. You may need to cut the rack in half to fit into the basket.
   • Cook for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the ribs halfway through the cooking time. Cooking times may vary, so keep an eye on them. The goal is to achieve a nice crust and tender meat.
5. Optional: Add Barbecue Sauce:
   • If you like saucy ribs, brush a thin layer of barbecue sauce on both sides of the ribs during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking. This will caramelize and add a flavorful glaze.
6. Check for Doneness:
   • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the ribs have reached an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
7. Rest and Serve:
   • Allow the ribs to rest for a few minutes before slicing between the bones.
   • Serve with your favorite sides, and enjoy!
