1 tbsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder

👨🍳 How to Make Fall-Off-The-Bone Oven BBQ Ribs
1. Prep the ribs
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove the thin silver membrane on the back of the ribs—this helps them get super tender. Pat ribs dry with paper towels.
2. Apply the rub
Mix all dry rub ingredients in a bowl. Rub generously over both sides of the ribs, pressing it into the meat.
3. Wrap and roast
Place ribs meat-side up on a large baking sheet lined with foil. Cover tightly with another layer of foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until ribs are tender and cooked through.
4. Add BBQ sauce and broil
Carefully remove the top foil. Brush ribs with barbecue sauce and return to the oven. Broil for 5–7 minutes until the sauce bubbles and caramelizes slightly. Watch closely—don’t burn it!
5. Rest and slice
Let ribs rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra sauce on the side if desired.
