Main Ingredients
  • 2 racks baby back ribs
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce For glazing
Dry Rub Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together smoked paprika, honey, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a rub.
  3. Rub the mixture generously over the baby back ribs.
Cooking
  1. Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil and cover with another piece of foil to keep them moist.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until tender.
  3. Remove the top layer of foil and brush BBQ sauce generously over the ribs.
  4. Increase the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and return the ribs to the oven for 15-20 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
  5. Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

These ribs can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container and can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven covered with foil for moisture.
