Ingredients
- 3 lbs Pork spare ribs
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 2 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
Step 2
Pat the ribs dry with paper towels and remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs if it hasn’t already been removed.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper to create a dry rub.
Step 4
Rub the olive oil over the ribs, coating both sides evenly.
Step 5
Sprinkle the dry rub generously over the ribs, rubbing it into the meat to ensure it’s evenly distributed.
Step 6
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack inside the baking sheet. Lay the seasoned ribs bone-side down on the rack.
Step 7
Cover the ribs tightly with another piece of aluminum foil to create a sealed packet to trap the steam, keeping the ribs moist while they bake.
Step 8
Place the ribs in the preheated oven and roast for 3.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away easily from the bone.
Step 9
Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully remove the top foil. Brush the ribs liberally with barbecue sauce on both sides.
Step 10
Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and return the ribs to the oven uncovered for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.
Step 11
Remove the ribs from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing between each bone to serve.
Step 12
Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side, if desired.
