Pork Spare Ribs in the Oven
Low and slow cooking gives you super tender, juicy, fall off the bone pork spare ribs with very little hands-on time and full-on flavor!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 pounds of pork spare ribs
For the rub:
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1/2 tablespoon onion powder
- 1/2 tablespoon cumin
- 1/2 tablespoon chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
For the sauce:
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 275℉. For super easy clean up, prep your baking sheet by lining it with foil and then adding a layer of parchment paper (this is completely optional).
- While the oven is preheating, add all the spices for the dry rub to a bowl and whisk together.
- Generously season both sides of the rib rack with your dry rub and place them meat side up on your prepared baking sheet.
- Cover your baking sheet with foil and bake for 3 hours. The steam will help cook your ribs and keep them moist, so resist the urge to peek at your ribs while they are cooking.
- If you’re preparing a homemade BBQ sauce, prepare your sauce while the ribs cook and store it in the fridge.
- Once the ribs have finished cooking, remove the top foil and coat the top of the ribs in BBQ sauce.
- Bump the heat on the oven up to 350℉ and cook your ribs uncovered for an additional 3-5 minutes to help caramelize the sauce. Watch carefully so that you don’t burn the BBQ sauce.
- Serve and enjoy!
