Featuring fall-off-the-bone pork baby back ribs seasoned with a flavorful dry rub of brown sugar, paprika, garlic, and smoked spices, these ribs are slow-cooked to perfection for maximum juiciness. Wrapped in foil for tenderness and then brushed with a tangy BBQ sauce finish, the ribs are caramelized under high heat for a sticky, irresistible glaze. With just 15 minutes of prep and minimal effort, this recipe ensures restaurant-quality ribs without the grill. Perfect for family gatherings or game-day spreads, serve them with extra BBQ sauce for dipping and enjoy ribs that everyone will be raving about.
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove the silver membrane from the back of the ribs for better seasoning penetration and tenderness.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to create the dry rub.
Pat the ribs dry with paper towels and lightly coat them with olive oil to help the seasoning stick.
Generously rub the dry spice mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated.
Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 3 hours, or until they are tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone.
Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap the foil (watch out for hot steam). Drain any excess liquid.
Brush the ribs generously with BBQ sauce on both sides.
Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, for an additional 10-15 minutes. This will caramelize the BBQ sauce.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side, if desired.
