Air Fryer BBQ Pork Ribs
In the air fryer, you can have tender, pull-apart ribs in a fraction of the traditional time. The spice rub ensures a crunchy, caramelized exterior “shell” as well, so there’s nothing missing here except the hefty barbecue grill and all the mess that comes along with it.

Peanut Rice Noodles with Pork and Collard Greens
This one goes out to all the peanut sauce fans out there. And if you’re thinking, Peanut butter and pork? Sounds crazy! Trust us, it works. Also trust us on this: Putting sugar in your noodles for this recipe is crucial. It balances the salt, heat, fat, and tanginess going on here, and brings out the flavors of everything else (nope, it doesn’t make anything sweet).
