Ingredients

800 g Lamb Ribs
1 tbsp Vegetable Oil - see notes
2 tsp Seasoning - see notes

Instructions

If your air fryer requires pre-heating, start this setting now.
Thoroughly dry roughly 800g Lamb Ribs. If they're not already cut into single ribs, use a sharp knife to cut between the bones now.
Drizzle over 1 tbsp Oil and 1½ tsp Seasoning and toss to thoroughly coat the lamb.
Place the ribs into the air fryer basket. Leave a little space between each so the air can circulate if possible.
Cook for 15 minutes at 200c/390f.
The ribs will be part cooked and will need turning, especially if your fryer is quite packed like mine. If you have lots of room, you could skip this step.
Use tongs to turn the ribs.
Cook for a further 15 minutes at 200c/390f.
Allow to rest for at least 3 to 4 minutes before tucking in. Spoon over juices that have collected in the bottom of the air fryer for extra flavour.

To Cook From Frozen

Cook for a total of 30 minutes at 200c/390f. Turn midway through cooking.

Notes

Oil - Choose your oil to match your flavouring. For example use garlic, salt and rosemary with olive oil or for a more neutral flavour, sea salt and black pepper with vegetable oil.
Seasoning - Choose any seasoning mix, spices or dried/fresh herbs. Make sure that salt is included in the mix. You can also add a little citrus juice.
I used vegetable oil with a 50/20 mix of garlic salt and paprika.
The air fryer version of this recipe is tested in a Cosori Lite (‎CAF-LI401S) with a 3.8 litre capacity. The square(ish) shaped basket is 21cm x 21cm and 24cm on the diagonal.
Not all models advise preheating is required. Please follow the recommended instructions for your model. Mine has a specific preheat setting which is 4 minutes at 205c.
For this recipe, I can just fit 800g lamb ribs in the basket at a time which was 6 larger and 1 smaller rib. This was pushing the limit of my air fryer but is fine due to the long cooking time and how the ribs shrink as they cook.
As all air fryer models are a little different, you may find that you can fit more or less in at a time. Some models include stacking shelves which will increase capacity.
Required cooking times and temperatures can also vary between models and brands. If you know that your air fryer runs a little hotter than most recipes suggest, use a lower temperature. And vice versa. Equally if you find that food cooks more quickly in your machine than instructions usually state, reduce the cooking time (or check it earlier) and vice versa.
