Ingredients for Baby Back Pork Ribs
Method
Directions for Cooking Baby Back Pork Ribs
Prepare the Ribs
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs for better tenderness.
Make the Rub
In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Season the Ribs
Rub the olive oil over the ribs and then apply the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes.
Bake the Ribs
Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, cover them tightly with another piece of foil, and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.
Broil for Finish
Broil the ribs in the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and caramelized.
Serve
Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, slice between the bones, and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
