Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread the 1 lb frozen french fries on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy, about 20 minutes, shaking halfway.

  2. Step 2

    While fries bake, thinly slice the 0.5 red onion and toss with the 2 tbsp white vinegar and a pinch of salt. Set aside to quick-pickle.

  3. Step 3

    Cut the 1 lb pre-cooked pork ribs into individual pieces. Brush with 0.5 cup barbecue sauce and place on a foil-lined baking sheet.

  4. Step 4

    Bake ribs in the same oven until hot and sticky, about 10 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and caramelized at the edges.

  5. Step 5

    Serve ribs with the crispy fries, top with pickled onions and the 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved.
