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?
