Air-Fried BBQ Baby Back Ribs with Homemade Spice Rub
Ingredients
  • 3 pounds baby back pork ribs
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon Greek seasoning
  • 1/3 cup barbeque sauce
Instructions
1
Preheat the air fryer to a high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius, if your device displays temperature in Celsius).
2
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and divide them into four equal parts, making it easier to cook and serve.
3
Mix together brown sugar, white sugar, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, granulated garlic, black pepper, ground cumin, chopped onion, and a blend of seasonings commonly used in barbecue recipes in a small bowl.
4
Apply the spice mixture evenly to all surfaces of the rib portions, ensuring they are well-coated.
5
Place the seasoned ribs in the air fryer basket and cook for 30 minutes, shaking them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
6
After 30 minutes of cooking, brush the ribs with a sweet and tangy barbecue sauce. Return them to the air fryer for an additional 5 minutes of cooking time, allowing the flavors to meld together and the meat to become tender.
