A delightful recipe for oven-baked ribs with a flavorful BBQ glaze, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 275°F.
A lower temperature ensures the ribs cook slowly and become tender.
Mix the smoked paprika, dark brown sugar, garlic powder, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl.
Ensure the spices are evenly combined for a consistent flavor.
Rub the spice mixture generously over all sides of the ribs.
Massage the rub into the meat to enhance the flavor.
Place the seasoned ribs in a baking dish, bone side down, and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Covering the dish traps moisture, keeping the ribs juicy.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours.
Check the ribs occasionally to ensure they are cooking evenly.
Remove the foil and brush the ribs with the sweet and tangy BBQ sauce.
Apply a generous amount of sauce for a rich flavor.
Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
This step caramelizes the sauce, adding a delicious crust.
Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the ribs moist.
Serve the ribs with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Pair with coleslaw or baked beans for a classic BBQ meal.
