Oven-Baked Pastured Pork Spare Ribs

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Peel the membrane off the back of the ribs and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Combine the sugar, paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder and rub over both sides.

  3. 3

    Wrap the rack in foil, set on a sheet pan, and bake at 300F for 2.5 hours.

  4. 4

    Unwrap, brush generously with barbecue sauce, and bake uncovered at 400F for 15-20 minutes until sticky.

  5. 5

    Rest 10 minutes, then slice between the bones.

Notes

Farm tip: Removing the silverskin membrane lets the rub reach the meat and keeps the ribs tender.

Serving suggestion: Serve with cornbread, baked beans, and extra sauce for dipping.
