- Arrange: Place the ribs in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure there is a little room between each piece so the air can circulate—this is the secret to those crispy edges!

Notes
According to food safety guidelines, pork should reach an internal temperature of 145°F. Use a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the rib to check for doneness.
Every air fryer cooks a little differently. If you like extra "char" on your ribs, you may want to add 1-2 minutes to the final cook time.
Let the ribs rest for 3-5 minutes before serving to keep the juices inside.
We have a 6-quart air fryer and usually cook 6 ribs at a time. I work in batches and keep the finished ribs warm on a plate tented with aluminum foil in a 200°F oven while I cook the remaining ribs.
