Air fryer ribs are a delightful twist on a classic dish, bringing tender, succulent flavours to your table in a fraction of the time. Using the simple yet effective air frying method, these ribs cook evenly and develop a mouth-watering caramelised exterior while remaining juicy on the inside.

To prepare, start with a rack of your preferred ribs—whether pork or beef—and remove the membrane from the back for better flavour absorption. A rub made from a blend of brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and your choice of spices imparts a delicious depth. After seasoning, place the ribs in your air fryer, ensuring they fit snugly but aren’t overcrowded.

Cook at a high temperature for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking. If you desire that sticky, glaze-like finish, brush the ribs with barbecue sauce in the final minutes of cooking. The result? Tender, flavour-packed ribs that are crispy on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth delicious on the inside—perfect for a family dinner or a casual weekend gathering. Enjoy them with a side of coleslaw or corn on the cob for a truly British-inspired BBQ feast!
