An easy and delicious recipe for Air Fryer Baby Back Ribs with sauteed cabbage. This was so delicious and totally unexpected.
The demand for air fryer recipes is truly overwhelming, so I have decided to start testing recipes for my blog and this is the first one.
It was really incredibly easy and tasty that my family asked me to make these ribs 3 times just this week.
They loved the crispiness of the ribs and the fact that they are so juicy as well as tender.
I am so happy to tell you guys that I will try to share as many recipes as I can just for the air fryer.
Well, I am thinking of recipes that are simple, easy, and perfect for a quick dinner. A meal ready to be on the table in less than 30 minutes.

I feel like this is the best invention ever. To be perfectly honest with you all, I was one of those skeptical people. I used a conventional oven in the past and loved it.
However, in the case of air fryer, we are talking about a kitchen gadget that is similar to the conventional oven yet so different. Absolutely amazing!
With that being said, I might be just a bit in love with my air fryer. We have been using it literally every single day since my husband decided to surprise me.
Some things we made are pizza, bacon, boiled eggs, fish, fries, wings as well as fish sticks, burgers, etc. Yes, we are killing it here with the air fryer.
My Anna tested making cookies and somewhat healthy energy bars in the air fryer. Even biscuits came out sort of tasty. Okay, I might be just a little excited so I keep blabbering but I am being honest.

Air Fryer Baby Back Ribs
An easy and delicious recipe for Airfryer Baby Back Ribs with sauteed cabbage.
Ingredients
- 1 rack of baby back ribs, cut ribs into sections
- 1 tbsp. Liquid Smoke
- 1 tbsp. Oil
- Seasoning:
- 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Brown Sugar (add low carb sugar if you are keto such as Truvia Brown Sugar Blend)
Instructions
- Pat the ribs dry with kitchen paper towel then rub all over oil and liquid smoke.
- Mix all the ingredients for seasoning together. Season the ribs with the spices.
- Cut the rack of ribs into sections 4-5 ribs to fit the air fryer.
- Cook the ribs in the air fryer for 20 to 40 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on the rib thickens as well as your air fryer.
- After the ribs are done, you may brush some BBQ sauce and pop in the air fryer for 5 more minutes, but it is not necessary. I like brushing just the leftover drippings for more flavorful ribs.
If you do not want to add BBQ sauce then just allow the ribs to rest for about 10 min so the juices could go back.
Notes
You can make this Low carb and Keto friendly just by switching a few things. For example, adding low carb sugar. Yes, you may add regular brown sugar as well. It is all about meeting your diet. We are doing low carb so that is why I mention that.
My AIR FRYER is 6 QT
Also, you can serve it with potatoes, cauliflower or sauteed cabbage. It is very simple serving it with cabbage.
Sauteed Cabbage
4 servings
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 Organic Cabbage, slice into thin strips
2 Garlic cloves, crushed and minced
2 tablespoon Olive Oil
Splash of Water
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
Heat the skillet and add oil,
Sautee on the oil for about 4-5 minutes at medium-high heat.
After the cabbage is coated with seasoning and almost half done sauteeing, add a splash of water to help cabbage get softer.
Allow it to cook for additional 2-3 minutes. Season to taste.
Does this meal need to be pressure cooked?
Nope!!! I just cook seasoned ribs in the airfryer.
Looking for air fry rib recipe and found this easy and good
were they tender? easy to eat off the bone?
Yes, I think they were pretty tender. Look into how fresh your ribs are and the quality. I hope it works for you. Thanks for your question!
Will the ribs be tender or do I need to parboil them first before putting in my air fryer
I never pre-boil, but you could. Mine always come out tender though.
How many sets of 4-5 rib sections can you air fry at once? So they need to be “not touching?” At 20 min a fry sesh, how long should we plan for this to take? Thank you!!!
Oh, I just read your comment. Mine could only fit about half of the rack at a time without touching, but I squeeze in whole baby back ribs… they do overlap but you could turn them around every 10 minutes until you achieve the crispiness and the internal temperature. Also, it depends on the size and shape of your air-fryer.
Prepare your ribs by removing the silver skin next to the bones, cover both sides with mustard then your favorite rub. My favorite: salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin. Cover the bottom of your hot fryer pan with parchment paper then stand the rib slab wrapped in a circle, standing on it’s side. Cook for (to start) 30 min at 400, check and cook more til the temp reaches 160 deg, Remove from fry pan, coat with your favorite BBQ sauce, return to fry pan and cook til almost burned -around 15 more minutes or til it looks nice and brown. It is up to you how brown. I love mine almost burned. FANTASTIC!!!!! Try it, you will like it!!!!!
Probably my fault. I checked and flipped it. It tasted good so put sauce and a few more minutes. It was so dry and overcooked. I also used boneless – any suggestions?
Hm! I am not sure… Maybe try cooking it for 20 minutes and allow it to rest for an additional 10 minutes so the juices could go back in. I just did mine and cooked it for 45 minutes and they were fine. I guess it depends on the meat and maybe air fryer.
Can you do this with boneless beef short ribs?
Of course! Go for it.
Should you put a little water in the bottom of the air fryer so the drippings don’t burn and smoke? Making these tonight….
@Jonathan, I prefer to add vodka or other alcohol to give them moisture while not letting them get soddy.
Do you have to put a little water in the bottom of the Air Fryer to combat the drippings burning or smoking? Plan on making this tonight…..
You could… It all depends on your air fryer and the size of your ribs.
