kcalIngredients
- For the Ribs:
2 racks of baby back ribs (about 4 lbs)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
- For the Smoky BBQ Sauce:
1 cup ketchup
½ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup honey
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this spice mixture generously all over the ribs.
- Place the ribs on the baking sheet, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 2.5 hours or until the ribs are tender.
- Meanwhile, make the BBQ sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook for 10–15 minutes or until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the ribs with the BBQ sauce and grill for 5–10 minutes on each side until caramelized and slightly charred. Serve with extra sauce on the side.
Notes
- For fall-off-the-bone ribs, bake for an additional 30 minutes.
- Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes after grilling to allow juices to redistribute.
- Use liquid smoke in the BBQ sauce for extra smokiness if you don’t have a grill.
