Recipe Directions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to make the dry rub.
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Rub the dry rub mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the ribs in the air fryer basket, bone side down, and cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the ribs are tender and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- If desired, brush the ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking for added flavor.
- Once the ribs are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Leftover Storage
If you happen to have any leftovers (though they’re unlikely to last long!), you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place the ribs in the air fryer and cook at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes, or until warmed through.
