Ribs

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Rinse the baby back ribs under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor and tenderness.

  2. 2

    Season the Ribs

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and brown sugar. Rub the mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.

  3. 3

    Bake the Ribs

    Place the seasoned ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Cover with another piece of foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender.

  4. 4

    Glaze with BBQ Sauce

    Remove the ribs from the oven and discard the top layer of foil. Brush the ribs generously with BBQ sauce. Optionally, you can also finish them on a grill for about 5-10 minutes to caramelize the sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side, if desired.
