30-Minute Bbq Baby Back Ribs

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400u00b0F.

2. 2

   Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.

3. 3

   Season the pork ribs liberally with salt and black pepper on both sides. Place them meat side up on the baking sheet.

4. 4

   Spread the barbecue sauce evenly over the top of the pork ribs.

5. 5

   Roast the pork ribs for 25 minutes on the middle rack of oven, until nearly cooked through and lightly charred. The internal temperature of the meat should be at about 180u00b0F. (Pro tip: Pork is safe to eat at an internal temperature of 145u00b0F, but connective tissue in the ribs does not begin to break down until 160-180u00b0F, which gives the meat a tender, pull-off-the-bone texture.)

6. 6

   Broil the pork ribs for 4-5 minutes on the top rack of oven, until the barbecue sauce starts to caramelize. Keep a close eye on the ribs to ensure they do not burn.

7. 7

   Check to see that pork ribs are done. Carefully remove from oven or add time as needed.

8. 8

   Allow the ribs to cool for 3-4 minutes on the baking sheet.

9. 9

   Transfer the pork ribs to a cutting board. With a sharp knife, cut the ribs into desired portions, and serve immediately.
