Easy Oven Baked Ribs (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
2 racks baby back ribs, spareribs, or St. Louis-style ribs
02 -
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
03 -
1 teaspoon salt
04 -
1 teaspoon black pepper
05 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
06 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 -
1 teaspoon ground mustard
08 -
1 cup barbecue sauce
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a large baking sheet or roasting pan with aluminum foil.
02 -
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by sliding your fingers under it to loosen, then pull it off. Use a paper towel for a better grip if it feels slippery.
03 -
In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and ground mustard.
04 -
Rub the dry spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs, ensuring an even coating. Place the seasoned ribs in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet or roasting pan.
05 -
Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the oven. Bake for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat is starting to pull away from the bones.
06 -
Remove the ribs from the oven and discard the top layer of foil. Brush a generous layer of barbecue sauce over the ribs.
07 -
Turn the oven to broil. Place the ribs back into the oven under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce bubbles and caramelizes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
