Ingredients
  

  • 2 racks of beef back ribs approximately 4 lbs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 cup barbecue sauce store-bought or homemade

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Ribs
    1-Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C).

  • Step 2: Season the Ribs
    1-In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne (if desired).
    2-Rub the olive oil over the ribs to help the seasoning stick.
    3-Generously coat both sides of the ribs with the seasoning mix.
  • Step 3: Cook the Ribs
    1-Place the ribs on a foil-lined baking tray, meat side up. Cover tightly with foil to retain moisture.
    2-Bake in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
  • Step 4: Glaze and Serve
    1-Remove the ribs from the oven and brush a generous layer of barbecue sauce over the top.
    2-Return the ribs to the oven (uncovered) at 375°F (190°C) for 10–15 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
    3-Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes before carving and serving.

Notes

  • For extra smoky flavor, consider adding a drop or two of liquid smoke to the barbecue sauce.
  • These ribs pair well with coleslaw, cornbread, or baked beans for a complete meal.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, double the cayenne pepper in the seasoning.
