Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Honey Mustard Ribs
Sticky, sweet-and-tangy air fryer honey mustard ribs — tender meat with a glossy, caramelized glaze, ready in under 40 minutes with no grill. The air fryer renders the fat and crisps the edges while the glaze sets.
A simple honey-mustard-soy sauce does all the work. Serve with slaw, cornbread or roasted potatoes for a finger-licking dinner.
Ingredients
Instructions
Glaze
Whisk the honey, mustard and soy sauce. Season the ribs with salt and pepper and brush with half the glaze.
Air fry
Air fry at 380°F for about 22–25 minutes, turning once, until tender.
Finish
Brush with the remaining glaze and cook a final 3–5 minutes, until sticky and caramelized. Rest 5 minutes.
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for tenderness.
- Glaze at the end so the honey doesn't burn.
- For extra-tender ribs, wrap in foil for the first half.
Frequently asked
How long do ribs take in the air fryer?
About 25–28 minutes at 380°F for rib chunks, with the glaze added at the end.
What's the difference from BBQ ribs?
These use a honey-mustard-soy glaze for a tangy-sweet flavor, rather than smoky barbecue sauce.
Can I use baby back or spare ribs?
Yes — cut the rack to fit the basket and adjust time for thickness.
