Ingredients
- 2 racks Pork baby back ribs
- 2 tablespoons Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 teaspoons Liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by sliding a knife under it and pulling it off with a paper towel for grip.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to form a paste.
Step 4
Rub the spice paste evenly over both racks of ribs, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 5
Place the seasoned ribs on the prepared baking sheet, meat side up. Add liquid smoke and apple cider vinegar to a small dish and place it on the tray next to the ribs to create a smoky aroma in the oven.
Step 6
Cover the ribs tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 2 hours, until the ribs are tender and the meat pulls easily from the bone.
Step 7
Increase oven temperature to 450°F (230°C) or set your broiler to high.
Step 8
Brush barbecue sauce generously over the ribs. Place under the broiler for 4-6 minutes, until the sauce caramelizes and bubbles slightly. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Step 9
Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes before slicing them into individual servings. Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side if desired.
