Description
Juicy and tender baby back ribs roasted in the oven for a backyard barbecue flavor without the grill.
Ingredients
- 1 rack of baby back ribs (about 2–2.5 lb)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons BBQ seasoning
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
- 4 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and position a rack in the center.
- Trim excess fat and any bone fragments from the rack, and pat the ribs dry.
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs.
- If preferred, cut between each bone for individual ribs.
- Drizzle the ribs with olive oil and rub it all over.
- Sprinkle the BBQ seasoning evenly and rub it into the meat.
- Set a wire rack on a baking tray and arrange the ribs bone-side down on the rack.
- Roast for about 80 to 90 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.
- Remove the tray from the oven and brush the ribs with BBQ sauce and honey.
- Broil for a few minutes per side to caramelize the sauce, watching closely.
- Let the ribs rest for 5–10 minutes before cutting or serving.
Notes
Use a probe thermometer for reliable doneness. It’s recommended to remove the silver skin for more tender ribs.
