Oven-Baked Ribs
Oven-baked ribs get a brown-sugar Cajun rub, a long covered bake, and a final barbecue-sauce glaze. The ribs should be tender before the sauce goes under the broiler.

Ingredients
Scale
- 8 to 10 pounds pork baby back ribs
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 1/2 tablespoons onion powder
- 2 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 4 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- Oil cooking spray
- Barbecue sauce for glazing, to taste
Instructions
- Pat the ribs dry; do not rinse raw meat. Lift and peel away the membrane from the bone side if present.
- Mix the brown sugar and dry seasonings. Line a baking sheet with foil, coat the ribs lightly with oil spray, and rub the seasoning over both sides.
- Wrap the ribs securely in foil and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Heat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Bake the wrapped ribs for about 2 1/2 hours; if they are not tender, continue covered for another 30 to 45 minutes. Check the meat with a food thermometer and follow safe minimum cooking guidance.
- Carefully unwrap and drain excess fat. Brush with barbecue sauce and broil briefly, watching closely, just until the glaze clings to the ribs. Rest before slicing.
