Course: Dinner

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 3 to 3 ½ pounds pork ribs cleaned
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
• 2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon red chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon cayenne
• Olive oil
• BBQ sauce if preferred

Method

 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
2. Pat ribs dry with a paper tower. In a small bowl, mix all the spices together
3. Using your hands, rub the spice mixture on both sides of the ribs, evenly. Make sure a nice crust is formed
4. Drizzle about a tablespoon of olive oil on the ribs and rub it on both sides
5. Cover the ribs with foil and, on a baking sheet, place in the oven. Cook while covered for an hour and a half. Remove foil and cook uncovered for the last hour at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. For a crispier outer layer, broil the ribs on low for about 10 minutes.
6. Remove and let them rest while covered. If you want them saucy, coat them with barbeque sauce while covered and let them rest
7. Serve and enjoy
8. Additional Recipe
9. If you prefer a simpler recipe, instead of coating the ribs in all these spices, you can coat it with salt and pepper, liberally, and rub it with olive oil. Then add a few sprigs of rosemary and wrap it with foil. You can cook it per the instruction above!
