Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Country-style pork ribs
- 1 tbsp Paprika
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, mix the paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using) together to create the spice rub.
Pat the country-style pork ribs dry with paper towels and rub them all over with olive oil.
Generously coat the ribs with the spice rub, ensuring they are evenly covered on all sides.
Place the ribs in a single layer in a baking dish or on a sheet pan lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Cover the ribs tightly with aluminum foil to seal in the moisture during cooking.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, or until they are tender and nearly falling apart.
After 2.5 hours, remove the ribs from the oven and carefully discard the aluminum foil.
Increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Brush the ribs generously with barbecue sauce on all sides.
Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20–30 minutes, or until the barbecue sauce caramelizes and becomes slightly sticky.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the ribs hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side, if desired. Enjoy!
