Steps
- 01Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
- 02Season generously on all sides. Short ribs are thick and need more seasoning than you think to flavor the whole piece.
- 03Ready for the air fryer.
Flanken-style ribs (cut across the bone into thin strips) work better in the air fryer than English-cut (one bone per piece, thick). Flanken ribs cook faster and develop more crust because there's more surface area. If you can only find English-cut, increase the cook time and flip more frequently.
