The Best Oven Roasted Baby Back Ribs

These turned out fabulous. Meat falling off the bone. Tasted excellent. Definitely going to make this again.

I found that 3 hours on 275° is the sweet spot. Then 25 minutes at 400°. The bones pull out clean and you are left with a tender juicy slab of meat.

nstructions Pre-heat the oven to 275 degrees F. Rinse and pat the dry the ribs with a paper towel. Remove any silver skin or membrane from the ribs. Split the racks in half. This makes them easier to handle and gives you four good portions. Rub mustard into the top of the ribs Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Wrap the ribs in foil, sealing the edges of the foil, making sealed packets. Place the ribs on a bakig sheet. Place the ribs in the 275 degree preheated oven on a rack in the center of the oven. Cook the ribs for 2½ hours. Cut the foil packets open using kitchen shears and fold back the foil to expose the ribs. Liberally coat the ribs with barbecue sauce. Do Not Rewrap the Ribs with Foil. Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F, you don't have to wait for it to preheat. Place the ribs back in the oven for 25 minutes. For fall of the bone ribs, the internal temperature needs to be 190 -205 degrees. Set the oven to broil. When hot, place the baking tray under the broiler for 3-5 minutes. Repeat with an additional layer of bbq sauce, if desired. Serve the ribs. Notes *You can use this recipe to make your favorite type of spare ribs, not just baby backs.
