Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat the 2 lb pork ribs dry with paper towels, then rub all over with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp garlic powder.

  2. Step 2

    Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet, meaty side up. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes, until tender and the meat pulls away from the bone.

  3. Step 3

    Remove foil and brush the ribs generously with 1 cup barbecue sauce. Return to oven, uncovered, and broil for 5-7 minutes, until the sauce is sticky and caramelized in spots.

  4. Step 4

    Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice between the bones and serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
