Barbecue Ribs
These barbecue ribs are not only easy to prepare but also deliver a mouthwatering combination of flavors. Let’s dive into the ingredients and cooking instructions to bring out the best in your ribs.
Ingredients
- 2 racks of pork baby back ribs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Prepare the ribs by removing the silver skin (the thin membrane on the back). This helps the ribs cook more evenly and become more tender.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Rub this spice blend generously over both sides of the ribs.
- Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil, making sure to seal the edges well. This will allow them to steam during the cooking process, keeping them moist.
- Place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
- Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap them (watch out for steam). Discard the foil and brush your favorite barbecue sauce generously over both sides of the ribs.
- To finish, you can either grill the ribs over medium heat for about 5-10 minutes on each side or broil them in the oven for 5-7 minutes until the sauce is caramelized and bubbly.
- Once done, let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing into portions. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
- Serve hot, accompanied by coleslaw, baked beans, or your favorite side dishes.
