Slow Roasted Ribs
These take a little time, but are fall-off-the-bone delicious!
Full Disclosure: I try to share with you recipes that are easy and quick, that you can pull together in a short amount of time to feed your busy family. This recipe takes well over an hour. But sometimes, low and slow is the way to go!
And also, this so so beyond easy. There is maybe 15 minutes of hands-on time. And you don’t even need to turn on your BBQ!
Ribs are one of those things that are so versatile - both the kids and adults love them, they are great in any season and they feed a crowd. What is not to love!?
Serve these with some roasted potatoes and you’ve got a comforting meal for the whole family!
Slow Roasted Ribs
Ingredients:
2 (3- to 4-pound) rack baby back ribs
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp dry mustard
2 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne (This is optional. We’re wimps, so we leave it out.)
1 cup barbecue sauce
Directions:
Preheat oven to 275F.
Line your baking sheet with aluminum foil. If your racks don’t fit on 1 pan, use 2.
Place the rack of ribs on the aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Pat them completely dry with paper towels. Season all over with 2 tbsp kosher salt and 2 tsp black pepper.
Cover tightly with aluminum foil and place in the oven. Set a timer for TWO HOURS and 45 MINS.
After the 2 hours and 45 mins, remove the ribs from the oven and uncover them. Turn the heat up to 450F.
Cover the ribs in a layer of BBQ sauce and when the oven reaches 450F, put them back into the oven for 15 mins.
Cut the rack of ribs into individual ribs. Serve with extra barbecue sauce for dipping.
Note: Prep ahead: You can cook your ribs for the first 2 hours up to a day in advance. Keep them wrapped tightly in aluminum foil and pop them in the fridge until you’re a little more than an hour out from mealtime. Resume cooking from there!
My kids inhaled these ribs! I should have made more!
