Ingredients
Ribs
- 2.5 lbs baby back pork ribs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp coarse kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil
Sauce
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tbsp garlic minced
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp coarse kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Start by preparing the ribs. Flip the ribs over and remove the membrane and silver skin from the back.
- Place the ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- To a small mixing bowl, add garlic powder, paprika, salt, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix to combine.
- Take the avocado oil and coat both sides of the ribs.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over both sides and rub it in so that all surfaces of the ribs are covered in the rub seasoning.
- Cover the ribs tightly with foil and place them in the oven.
- Bake for 90 minutes and remove them from the oven, but leave them covered in foil.
- Increase the oven temperature to 450°F.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix together the sauce ingredients making sure they are thoroughly combined.
- Remove the foil from the ribs and brush the sauce on the top of the ribs, fully coating them.
- Place the uncovered ribs back in the oven for 12 minutes.
- Remove them from the oven and let them rest for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use a neutral oil as the binder for the rub to avoid conflicting flavors between the seasoning, sauce, and binder.
- It’s really important to make sure that foil is tight when you put it in the oven to trap that heat in for tender ribs
- Be sure you allow resting time after cooking to make sure they don’t lose all of that juiciness
- For a larger rack of ribs (4 lbs), you’ll want to increase the cooking time to 2 hours.
