Tips & Tricks

ribs cooked in an air fryer

Preheat The Air Fryer

Preheating is important whether you are using an air fryer or an oven. You will have to preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes after spraying oil on the basket.

 

Marinate Your Meat

Marinating meat is one of the best things you can do to give your meat more flavor. When you marinate your meat, the marinade absorbs into the meat, and the meat itself acts as a sponge for the marinade. The result is a juicy and succulent piece of meat that is bursting with flavor.

 

Turn The Ribs

Flip your ribs in the air fryer basket after 10 minutes of cooking so the ribs will be fully cooked on both sides. You can also brush some barbecue sauce on both sides of the ribs while turning to enhance the taste.

 

What is the healthiest way of cooking ribs?

There are many ways of cooking ribs. You can grill them, smoke them, or braise them in a rich sauce. You can use your oven or a slow cooker. Each of these methods has its own advantages, but the healthiest way to cook them is in an air fryer.
