Okay, here’s my attempt at a blog post, following your instructions and example:

So, I saw this thing all over TikTok about making boneless ribs in the air fryer. I’m always up for a kitchen experiment, especially if it means less mess. I figured, why not give it a shot? Here’s how it went down.

Get Things Ready

First, I grabbed the stuff I needed:

  • Boneless country-style pork ribs (duh)
  • My favorite BBQ sauce (something sweet and smoky)
  • A little bit of olive oil
  • Some spices – I used garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Just whatever I had in the cabinet.

The Prep Work

I took the ribs out of the package and patted them dry with paper towels. Gotta get that extra moisture off! Then, I tossed them in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil. Not too much, just enough to coat them.

Next, I sprinkled on my spices. I didn’t measure anything, just eyeballed it. Enough to give them a good coating. I rubbed the spices all over the ribs, making sure they were evenly covered. 

Into the Air Fryer

I preheated my air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.  My air fryer is kinda small, I placed the ribs in the basket in a single * might need to cook them in Batches.

I set the timer for 15 minutes. Halfway through, around the 7 or 8-minute mark, I flipped them over.  This helps them cook evenly, you know?

Sauce it UP!

After the 15 minutes were up, I took the ribs out and brushed them generously with BBQ sauce. I mean, really slathered it on. Then, back into the air fryer they went for another 5 minutes, The sauce can caramelized and get all sticky and delicious.

Check for doneness

I prodded them with a fork – they were nice and tender, with a bit of a crust from the BBQ sauce. My kitchen smelled amazing, by the *’s it.I just take it out and ready to eat!

Honestly, I was pretty impressed with how these turned out. Way easier than grilling or baking, and the cleanup was a breeze. The air fryer really does make things crispy. Definitely adding this to my “easy weeknight dinner” list.
