INGREDIENTS

  • Meat

    • 1 rack baby back ribs

  • Oil and Seasoning

    • 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 barbecue sauce

STEPS

1

Remove and discard membrane from back of ribs; pat ribs dry with a paper towel. Cut rack into 4 pieces. Combine olive oil and liquid smoke in a small bowl; rub onto both sides of ribs.

2

Combine brown sugar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder in a bowl. Generously season both sides of ribs with brown sugar mixture; set ribs aside to enhance the flavor for 30 minutes.

3

Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.

4

Place ribs, bone-sides down, in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching. Cook in batches if necessary. Cook for 15 minutes; flip ribs, meat-sides down, and cook 10 minutes more.

5

Remove ribs from air fryer; brush 1/2 cup barbecue sauce onto bone-sides of ribs. Place basket back in the air fryer; cook 5 minutes. Flip ribs; brush meat-sides with remaining 1/2 cup barbecue sauce. Cook until desired char is achieved, about 5 minutes more.
