How to make super tender oven-baked ribs?
Preheat the oven and season the ribs
- Start by preheating the oven to 220°C.
- While the oven is heating up, let’s prepare the seasoning for the ribs. Mix 2 teaspoons of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika in a bowl.
- If you find that the rack of ribs is too large and doesn’t fit in the baking tray, cut it in half.
- Season both halves of the rack of ribs.
- Gently massage the seasoning onto the ribs to ensure an even distribution.
Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil
- Wrap each half of the ribs tightly in aluminum foil. Ensure they are well sealed.
- You can use two layers of aluminum foil to make sure they are completely sealed from all sides.
- Bake the ribs for 1 hour at 220°C.
- After an hour, turn off the oven. Do not open the oven door as we want the ribs to cook in the remaining heat.
- Opening the oven door will cause a significant loss of heat, resulting in less tender ribs. Don’t worry, they won’t burn.
Let the pork ribs rest in the oven for 4 hours
- Leave the ribs in the warm oven to rest for 4 hours.
- After 4 hours, carefully remove the aluminum foil.
- Brush the ribs with barbecue sauce.
- Use a kitchen torch to lightly brown the surface (optional) and garnish with a sprinkle of dry parsley for a splash of color.
Tips and tricks for preparing juicy and tender oven-baked ribs
Here are the key points to keep in mind for this recipe:
- Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil, ensuring a good seal. It’s recommended to use two layers, just to be safe.
- After the ribs have cooked for 1 hour in the oven, turn off the heat and resist the temptation to open the oven door. Let the ribs remain inside.
- After the 4-hour cooking time, the ribs may not be tender yet. However, being wrapped in aluminum foil and cooked with the residual heat, they will turn out juicy and incredibly tender.
And there you have it! A fantastic recipe for mouthwatering oven-baked BBQ ribs. Enjoy!
