DESCRIPTION
Just because grilling season is over, it doesn’t mean that you can’t have ribs! These oven-baked BBQ pork ribs are so tender and delicious, you’ll make them all year, even when the grill isn’t covered in snow!
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar (optional)
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 2–3lb. racks of baby back ribs or St. Louis Style spare ribs, membrane removed
- About 9 ounces bottled BBQ sauce. (Look for a sweet one that has the word honey or brown sugar in the name. Here is my favorite classic recipe, and my smoky and spicy recipe, if you want homemade.)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- In a small bowl combine the brown sugar (if using), salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes (if using), and black pepper.
- Remove the membrane from the bone side of the ribs. See video link in article above.
- Sprinkle ribs on all sides with the seasoning mixture.
- Put ribs on a large rimmed baking sheet, meatiest side up, in a single layer.
- Bake for 2 hours.
- Let ribs rest for 15 minutes. Cut into individual ribs, or cut such that 2-3 ribs are together.
- Brush lightly on all sides with sauce.
- Preheat broiler. Set grate so the meat will be about 6 inches from the heat source.
- Broil ribs until just starting to char, 2-5 minutes. Flip ribs and broil other side until similarly darkened in spots.
