Oven Baked Ribs

Oven Baked Ribs

Yeah, well this whole temporary apartment living is really putting a kink in my grilling style.

SO when you have no grill, you must resort to the oven. Keeping my oven on for 4 hours here in Tampa when its eleven millionth degrees doesn’t make me happy..but I NEEDED ribs. [rss-cut]

Oven Baked Ribs 001

Ribs in the oven are really super duper easy. Mix what ever spices you want, slather them on the ribs,make a nice little blanket around the ribs with foil and bake away. That’s it, no peaking, no checking the temperature. Your ribs will literally fall off the bone.

What I like to do is pop them under the broiler for a few minutes, to get the fat and edges of meat crispy.

Don’t let the large list of ingredients scare you away. Really, just mix whatever you like for a dry rub. Easy. You can leave them plain or slather some BBQ sauce on them when they are done.
