   During the final roasting step, check occasionally to prevent the meat and garlic from burning, adjusting their positions or cooking time as needed.

If the ribs are very fresh and you are not sensitive to gamey odors, you may skip soaking them to draw out the blood. Air fryers vary in power, so check for doneness and adjust the cooking time during the final roasting step. Whole garlic cloves are optional.
