Ingredients:
3/4 cup water
1 pound bone-in St. Louis pork spareribs
1 tablespoon Kansas City-style barbecue seasoning rub
Canola oil cooking spray
2/3 cup barbecue sauce (heated)
Directions:
Place water in bottom of air-fryer pan (underneath the basket). Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit according to the manufacturer's directions.
Meanwhile, cut rib portions between the bones into 1 to 1-1/2 inch pieces; place in a large bowl. Sprinkle barbecue seasoning over rib pieces; toss until evenly coated. Lightly spray rib pieces with cooking spray. Toss.
Lightly spray the air-fryer basket with cooking spray. Place rib pieces in the basket. Lightly spray tops of pork pieces with cooking spray. Cook for 6 minutes. Shake rib pieces in basket or toss with tongs; lightly spray with cooking spray. Cook for 12 minutes more, shaking basket or tossing rib pieces after 6 minutes.
Lightly brush rib pieces with some of the sauce; cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until sauce slightly caramelizes. Transfer rib pieces to a bowl, and toss with remaining sauce. Let cool for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
