Ingredients

2 lbs pork ribs cut into individual ribs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 ½ tsp paprika
1 ½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp cayenne pepper
¼ cup BBQ sauce to serve

A handful of fresh parsley as garnish

Instructions

Mix the spices (salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper) and throw them into a large bowl with the pork ribs. Toss to coat evenly.
Then, preheat the air fryer to 375F and set the timer to 15 minutes.
Arrange the pork ribs into a single layer, placing them horizontally over its edge.
Turn them over at half-cooking time.
Depending on the size of your ribs, you may need to extend cooking time a few more minutes. Serve the ribs with some BBQ sauce on top, if desired.

Notes

Tips

Pat dry pork ribs for a crispier texture.
Use a sugar-free BBQ sauce (or none) on a low-carb or keto diet.

Notes

Avoid overcooking the pork, or it will get dry. If your air fryer isn’t big enough, you’ll need to cook them in two batches.

This is a quick and easy-to-make tasty dish for everyday dinner. It has a flavourful homemade pork rub that provides a delicious alternative for those on a low-carb or keto diet.

Then, we also included different versions using store-bought barbecue sauce.
