- Peel the silverskin from the back of the ribs then cut the rack into 2-3 sections that fit into the air fryer basket.
- Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, salt, brown sugar, chili powder, and pepper. Season both sides of the ribs with the bbq spice rub, covering both sides well.
- Place the rib sections in the air fryer basket, meat side down, and air fry for about 15 to 27 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
- Open the basket and brush the ribs with BBQ sauce — as much or little as you want. Close the air fryer and cook them for another 5 minutes.
- Remove the ribs from the air fryer and allow them to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving, with additional BBQ sauce if desired.
