Method

Ribs Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ribs

    Remove the membrane from the back of the pork ribs. Rinse and pat dry.

  3. 3

    Season the Ribs

    In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture thoroughly over both sides of the ribs.

  4. 4

    Wrap and Bake

    Wrap the seasoned ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours.

  5. 5

    Glaze with Sauce

    Remove the ribs from the oven, unwrap them, and brush them generously with Carolina barbecue sauce. Return to the oven for an additional 30 minutes to caramelize.

Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 6

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into even-sized chunks. Place in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 7

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Vegetables Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and chop broccoli and carrots into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 9

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add broccoli and carrots, season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
