Air Fryer BBQ Ribs Made with the Best Dry Rib Rub

Step 1

In a small bowl mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, pepper, apple cider vinegar, liquid smoke and olive oil.  Spread it evenly over the entire rack of ribs.

Step 2

Make sure the rack is in the bottom of the air fryer pot. Place one rack of ribs flat on the rack and put in the air fryer.
