Pork Spare Ribs

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Ribs

Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Rinse the pork spare ribs under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

2

Season the Ribs

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

3

Cook the Ribs

Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil and cover with another piece of foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the meat is tender.

4

Add BBQ Sauce

Remove the ribs from the oven, discard the top layer of foil, and brush BBQ sauce generously over the ribs. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 30 minutes.

5

Prepare Side Dishes

While the ribs are baking, prepare your choice of baked potatoes, chili beans, or potato salad. You can also prepare a fresh salad with mixed greens and toast the garlic bread.

6

Serve

Once the ribs are done, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with your choice of sides and enjoy!
