Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

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

  2. 2

    Season the Ribs

    In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the ribs.

  3. 3

    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 tender.

  4. 4

    Glaze with BBQ Sauce

    Remove the ribs from the oven, carefully unwrap the foil, and brush BBQ sauce generously over the ribs. Return to the oven uncovered.

  5. 5

    Finish Cooking

    Increase the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the ribs from the oven, allow to rest for a few minutes, then cut between the bones and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
