Oven-Baked BBQ Ribs

Ingredients

• 2 –3 lbs pork baby back ribs
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).

2. Remove the silver skin/membrane from the back of the ribs (optional, but helps tenderness).

3. Rub the ribs evenly with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

4. Place ribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil, meat side up.

5. Wrap tightly to form a sealed packet.

6. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 2–2.5 hours until the meat is tender and pulls slightly from the bone.

7. Carefully unwrap the ribs and brush a generous layer of BBQ sauce over the meat.

8. Preheat your oven’s broiler or set to 425°F (220°C).

9. Broil or bake for 5–10 minutes, watching closely, until the sauce caramelizes and is sticky.

10. Let ribs rest for 5 minutes before slicing between bones.

11. Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side, coleslaw, or your favorite sides.
