Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Country-style pork ribs
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a large baking sheet or roasting pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and brown sugar to create a dry rub.
Pat the country-style pork ribs dry with paper towels and drizzle them with olive oil. Rub the oil evenly over all sides of the ribs.
Sprinkle the dry rub evenly over the ribs, ensuring all sides are well coated.
Place the ribs in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Cover the entire tray tightly with another layer of aluminum foil to seal in moisture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. This will make the ribs tender and juicy.
Carefully remove the foil from the top of the ribs, then brush them generously with barbecue sauce.
Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the barbecue sauce is caramelized and slightly sticky.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with extra barbecue sauce on the side, if desired, and enjoy!
