Baby Back Ribs Ingredients

Method

Baby Back Ribs Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim any excess fat.

  2. 2

    Make the Dry Rub

    In a bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Season the Ribs

    Rub the dry rub mixture generously over both sides of the ribs. Wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  4. 4

    Cook the Ribs

    Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until tender.

  5. 5

    Add Flavor with Vinegar

    In the last 30 minutes of cooking, brush the ribs with apple cider vinegar to add moisture and flavor.

  6. 6

    Glaze with BBQ Sauce

    Remove the ribs from the oven and brush generously with your chosen BBQ sauce. Return to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes.

  7. 7

    Rest and Serve

    Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious baby back ribs!
