Method

Preparing the Ribs

  1. 1

    Season the Ribs

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Rub this spice mixture all over the ribs.

  2. 2

    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, until they are tender.

  3. 3

    Apply BBQ Sauce

    After baking, carefully unwrap the ribs. Brush a generous amount of BBQ sauce over the ribs and return them to the oven, uncovered, for an additional 30 minutes to caramelize the sauce.

Preparing the Fresh Seasonal Vegetables

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the ribs are baking, wash and chop the carrots and broccoli into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the carrots and sauté for 5 minutes. Then add the broccoli, salt, and black pepper, and continue to sauté for another 5-7 minutes, until vegetables are tender but still crisp.

    Plate the Dish

    Once the ribs are done, let them rest for a few minutes before cutting. Serve the ribs with a side of coleslaw and warm cornbread, accompanied by the sautéed seasonal vegetables.
