Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks Pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional, for extra smokiness)
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor and tenderness. Use a knife to lift the edge of the membrane, then grab it with a paper towel and pull it off.
In a small bowl, prepare the dry rub by combining brown sugar, paprika, smoked paprika (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the ribs and rub it in evenly.
Generously coat both sides of the ribs with the dry rub mixture, pressing it into the meat for maximum flavor.
Place the ribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil, meat side up. Wrap the ribs tightly in foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, or until they are tender and the meat begins to pull away from the bones.
Carefully remove the ribs from the oven and open the foil. Brush barbecue sauce generously over both sides of the ribs.
Turn your oven to broil. Place the ribs back into the oven, uncovered, and broil for 5-10 minutes, or until the barbecue sauce is caramelized. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side, if desired.
