Spare Ribs

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep the Ribs

    Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Start by removing the silver skin from the back of the ribs. This will help the seasonings penetrate better and make the ribs more tender.

  2. 2

    Season the Ribs

    In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and brown sugar. Rub this spice mix all over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Bake the Ribs

    Place the seasoned ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Cover them with another piece of foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender.

  4. 4

    Glaze and Finish

    Remove the ribs from the oven and brush them generously with barbecue sauce. Increase the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F) and return the ribs to the oven uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once done, take the ribs out of the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before cutting. Serve with additional barbecue sauce on the side.
