Perfectly tender and fall-off-the-bone delicious, these pork baby back ribs are seasoned with a smoky, savory dry rub featuring smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a touch of brown sugar for a subtly sweet kick. Slowly baked in foil to lock in moisture, these ribs are then slathered with a tangy, apple cider vinegar-infused barbecue sauce and caramelized to sticky perfection. With just 20 minutes of prep and a foolproof oven-cooking method, this recipe delivers all the finger-licking satisfaction of barbecue without the need for a grill. Ideal for family dinners or weekend gatherings, serve these juicy ribs alongside classic sides like coleslaw, buttery cornbread, or roasted vegetables for a soul-warming feast that’s sure to impress.
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Prepare the ribs by gently removing the membrane from the underside of the racks. This will help the spices and sauce penetrate the meat better.
In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar to create a dry rub.
Rub the dry spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil, creating sealed packets to lock in moisture.
Place the foil-wrapped ribs on a large baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours or until the meat is tender and begins to pull away from the bones.
Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap the foil packets, being cautious of escaping steam.
In a small bowl, mix the barbecue sauce with apple cider vinegar for added tanginess.
Brush the ribs generously with the barbecue sauce on all sides.
Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Place the ribs back onto the baking sheet, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, basting with more sauce halfway through, until the sauce caramelizes and the ribs develop a sticky glaze.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into individual portions.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes like coleslaw, cornbread, or roasted vegetables.
