This recipe uses the Ninja Foodi to pressure cook ribs quickly, then finishes them with a broil or air crisp for tender, juicy, fall-off-the-bone BBQ ribs with a sticky glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 racks pork baby back ribs (about 4–6 pounds total)
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) apple cider or chicken broth
  • ½ cup (120 ml) BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
  • Optional: splash of apple cider vinegar or Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Trim the ribs by removing the silver skin membrane on the bone side using a sharp knife (about 10 minutes).
  2. Mix the dry rub ingredients (smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper) in a bowl (5 minutes).
  3. Pat ribs dry and rub the seasoning mix evenly over both sides. Let sit at room temperature while prepping the Ninja Foodi (5 minutes).
  4. Pour 1 cup apple cider or chicken broth into the Ninja Foodi pot (2 minutes).
  5. Arrange ribs in the Ninja Foodi pot, coiling them standing on their side bone-side down or laying flat if space allows. Close lid and seal pressure valve (2 minutes).
  6. Pressure cook on high for 30 minutes.
  7. Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.
  8. Open lid and brush ribs generously with BBQ sauce (5 minutes).
  9. Close the crisping lid and air crisp at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes to caramelize sauce and crisp edges. Alternatively, broil ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet in an oven for 5-7 minutes, watching closely.
  10. Let ribs rest for 5 minutes before slicing between bones and serving.

Notes

Remove the silver skin membrane for tender ribs. Use natural pressure release to keep ribs juicy. Watch closely during broiling to prevent BBQ sauce from burning. Adjust pressure cooking time for rack size. For gluten-free, ensure BBQ sauce is gluten-free. Optional additions include apple cider vinegar or Worcestershire sauce in cooking liquid for complexity.
