How to Make Spare Ribs in an Air Fryer
Aunt Lou here.
Mine and Cris’ families were all at Momma’s house, and she made us these delicious ribs. They were tender and tasty, and come to find out, they were easy to make to boot! If you have looked at many of our recipes before and come across any of Momma’s recipes, you know that if she creates the recipe, it is a going to wonderful. This Air Fryer Spare Ribs recipe holds up to the Momma standard.
Ribs usually come in pretty large packages. Momma’s ribs were already cut when she got them. Mine were not. So, I cut my ribs into sections that were a few inches wide to make them about the same as hers. If you don’t need many servings, you can make one batch and freeze the rest of the ribs from your pack. However, if you need to feed a crowd or want leftovers, you can make them in batches and put them all in the oven at the end with the barbecue sauce together. I really love a versatile recipe, don’t you?

Ingredients
- 5 lbs pork spare ribs
- Lawry's Seasoned Salt to taste
- BBQ Sauce to taste
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes.
If your ribs are not already cut into sections, using a sharp knife, cut your ribs into sections a few inches wide.
Sprinkle both sides of your ribs with Lawry's seasoning salt.
Place your ribs in the preheated basket of your 7 quart air fryer.
Cook at 380 for 10 minutes, flip ribs and cook for an additional 10 minutes at 380.
If cooking more than one batch (I cooked 3 batches with my pack of ribs), place ribs on a foil lined cookie sheet and cover with foil.
Repeat steps for all ribs and preheat broiler on high during the last 10 minutes of air frying of the last batch.
Once all the ribs are cooked, use a basting brush to coat both sides with barbecue sauce and broil on high for 1-3 minutes, watching continually while they are in the broiler.
