Melt-In-Your-Mouth Instant Pot Ribs

Ingredients List

• ½ cup brown sugar

• ¼ cup chili powder

• 1 tablespoon dried parsley

• 2 teaspoons salt

• 2 teaspoons garlic powder

• 2 teaspoons ground black pepper

• 2 teaspoons ground cumin

• 2 teaspoons onion powder

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

• 2 small or medium racks baby back ribs, membranes removed

• 1 cup water

• ½ cup apple cider vinegar

• 1 (12 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's)

Cooking Instructions

Gather all the required ingredients together.

In a bowl, combine brown sugar, chili powder, parsley, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, cumin, onion powder, and paprika. Use a fork to mix and break apart any large clumps.

Coat both sides of the ribs with the spice blend.

Place a steam rack inside your pressure cooker (like an Instant Pot). Add water and cider vinegar to the bottom of the pot.

Gently place the ribs into the pot, curling them around the edge. Secure the lid and lock it. Set the pressure cooker to high pressure following the manufacturer’s instructions, and set the timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up.

Carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method as per the manufacturer's instructions, which should take around 5 minutes. Then, unlock and remove the lid.

Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, then place the ribs on top. Brush with barbecue sauce.

Broil the ribs until the sauce begins to bubble, approximately 3 minutes.

Serve and enjoy!
