Short Pork Spare Ribs

Instructions

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

2. In a small bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This flavorful sauce will be the key to infusing your ribs with a delectable taste.

3. Place the short pork spare ribs on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer and not overlapping. Season both sides of the ribs with a bit more salt and pepper for added flavor.

4. Brush the prepared sauce generously over the ribs, ensuring that each piece is well coated. Reserve a bit of the sauce for basting later during cooking.

5. Cover the baking sheet with another sheet of foil, sealing the edges tightly to create a packet for the ribs. This will help to lock in the moisture and flavors as the ribs cook.

6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the ribs for about 2 to 2.5 hours. The low and slow cooking method will ensure that the meat becomes tender and falls off the bone effortlessly.

7. After the initial cooking time, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and uncover the ribs. Baste the ribs with the remaining sauce for an extra boost of flavor.

8. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and return the uncovered ribs to the oven. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the ribs are caramelized and slightly crispy on the edges.

9. Once done, remove the ribs from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute, resulting in tender and juicy meat.

10. Garnish your short pork spare ribs with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve alongside your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, cornbread, or roasted vegetables, for a complete and satisfying meal.
