Description
A delicious, time-saving method to make perfect St. Louis style ribs with roasted potatoes, carrots, shallots, and garlic in just one hour. The air fryer or roaster gives the ribs a tender, flavorful finish with a crispy bark.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 rack of St. Louis style ribs (cut in half to fit the pan)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon Herbs de Provence
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Accent/MSG (optional)
- 2 cups carrots, cut into small chunks (or use baby carrots)
- 2 cups small golden potatoes
- 1 shallot, sliced
- 1 clove garlic, smashed
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (for spritzing)
Instructions
- Prepare the ribs: Trim the ribs, removing excess fat. Pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure a good crust.
- Season the ribs: Season both sides of the ribs generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, herbs de Provence, and Accent (if using).
- Preheat the cooker: Preheat your PowerXL Air Grill 12-in-1 Cooker (or a similar air fryer/roaster) to the Roast setting at 350°F.
- Roast the ribs: Once the oven is preheated, place the ribs, bone-side down, in the pan. Run the roast cycle for 20 minutes.
- Prepare the veggies: After 20 minutes, remove the ribs from the cooker. In the same pan, add the potatoes, carrots, shallots, and smashed garlic. Stir them into the drippings and season them well.
- Finish cooking: Place the ribs back on top of the vegetables (or, if necessary, next to them) and spritz them with apple cider vinegar to help form a good bark. Run the roast cycle for the remaining 40 minutes.
- Serve: Once the time is up, remove the ribs from the cooker and let them rest for a few minutes before serving with the roasted veggies.
Notes
- If you don’t have an air fryer, you can use a conventional oven at 350°F with similar timing for crispy results.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste based on your preference for salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Let the ribs rest before cutting to allow the juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness.
