Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork country-style ribs
- 8 slices Bacon
- 1 medium Lemon
- 2 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the boneless pork country-style ribs dry with paper towels and place them on a baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and salt.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over all sides of the pork ribs.
Using a microplane or zester, grate the zest from the lemon and then juice the lemon into two separate small bowls.
Drizzle the ribs with olive oil and half of the lemon juice, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Wrap each pork rib with two slices of bacon, securing them with toothpicks if necessary.
Place the ribs on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to allow air circulation around the meat for even cooking.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
After 35 minutes, brush the ribs with the remaining lemon juice and sprinkle them with lemon zest.
Switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the internal temperature of the pork ribs reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve alongside your favorite side dishes.
