AIR FRYER SPARERIBS
We used an air fryer to turn spareribs into a quick and easy weeknight dinner. Separating the ribs helps them to fit in the fryer, cook quickly and get an even, golden crust all over. Make sure you dip them in the warm barbeque sauce immediately after they are done cooking--they'll absorb more flavor while still hot.

Steps:
- Whisk together 1 tablespoon salt, 2 tablespoons pepper and 1 teaspoon of the paprika in a large bowl until well combined. Add the ribs and toss to coat, pressing the seasoning into each rib.
- Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 350 degrees F. Transfer the ribs to the fryer basket and cook until the ribs are tender and golden brown, about 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the ketchup, cider vinegar, white vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire, hot sauce, 2 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons pepper, 3/4 cup water and the remaining 2 teaspoons paprika in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is melted and the sauce is warmed through, about 2 minutes. Cover and keep warm over low heat.
- Once the ribs are cooked, dip each one into the sauce, letting any excess run off. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side.

Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs or spare ribs can be used for this recipe, but baby back ribs are generally more tender and flavorful.
- Trim the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to help them cook more evenly.
- Season the ribs well: A good rub is essential for flavorful ribs. Use a combination of spices and herbs that you enjoy.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket: Make sure there is enough space between the ribs so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the ribs in batches if necessary: If you have a small air fryer, you may need to cook the ribs in batches.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the ribs are cooked through: The ribs are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the ribs rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the ribs, making them more tender.
