Should ribs be marinated before air frying?

Marinating is optional but highly recommended. Letting the rub or marinade sit on the ribs for at least 30 minutes will infuse them with flavor and help tenderize the meat. Aim for at least 30 minutes up to overnight.

What temperature should I use to cook pork ribs in the air fryer?

Set your air fryer to 380°F. This temperature is ideal for cooking the ribs evenly while achieving a nice, crispy exterior.

Can I use other types of ribs for this recipe?

Due to their size, baby back ribs work best for this recipe. Country style pork ribs (boneless) can be cooked at 380° for 8 minutes, flip over and cook another 8 minutes. Brush the ribs with BBQ sauce and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes.

Do I need to flip the ribs while cooking in the air fryer?

Yes, flipping the ribs halfway through cooking helps ensure they cook evenly. Most air fryers recommend shaking or flipping the food to promote even browning.

How many servings in a rack of baby back ribs

Depending on the number of ribs in the rack, you will get 3 to 4 servings. (Plan on about four ribs per person.)
