Baked Rib Pork Back Ribs

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the ribs by removing the membrane from the back of the racks. Simply slide a butter knife under the membrane to loosen it, then grab it with a paper towel and peel it off.

3. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). This will be your dry rub for the ribs.

4. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels and then generously season both sides of the racks with the dry rub mixture.

5. Place the seasoned ribs on the prepared baking sheet, meat side up, and cover them tightly with aluminum foil.

6. Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and starting to pull away from the bones.

7. Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully drain any excess liquid from the baking sheet.

8. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).

9. Brush the BBQ sauce over the ribs, coating them evenly. Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.

10. Once done, remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them into individual portions.

11. Garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness before serving.
