Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 300°F. This low temp’s gonna slowly melt everything together.
  • Mix paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, lemon pepper, and salt in a bowl. Get ready to rub it down good.
  • Coat both sides of your ribs with the spice mix. Don’t hold back, you want every bite packed.
  • Lay sliced onions and garlic in your large baking dish to make a cozy bed for the ribs.
  • Place your seasoned ribs right on top of the onions and garlic. Cover it tight using foil so no steam escapes.
  • Bake in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours. This slow cook time lets ribs get fall-apart tender.
  • Once done, take off the foil and crank up oven heat to 400°F to get that crispy finish you want. Bake for 15-20 minutes more.
  • Let ribs rest a few minutes before slicing and serving. That’s when you feel ready to dive in, dang the smell alone is worth it.
