Description
Tender, slow-cooked baby back ribs coated in a rich, sticky barbecue glaze with a perfect balance of smoky, sweet, and savory flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 rack baby back ribs (about 1.5 to 2 pounds)
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a bowl, mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly brush it with olive oil.
- Rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, coating them evenly, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for 2.5 hours until tender. Remove the foil, brush generously with barbecue sauce, and return to the oven uncovered for 20 minutes.
- Brush another layer of sauce and let it caramelize slightly.
- Slice between the bones and serve warm.
Notes
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better tenderness.
- Let the seasoning sit for a few minutes before cooking to enhance flavor.
- Apply sauce in layers for a richer taste.
- Use a broiler briefly for extra caramelization if desired.
