step 1 Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Pat ribs dry and rub with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
step 2 Wrap ribs in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, until tender.
step 3 Remove from oven, brush with BBQ sauce, and broil uncovered for 5–7 minutes until caramelized. Set aside to rest.
step 4 Meanwhile, boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain and mash with butter, warm milk or cream, and season to taste. Mix in optional garlic or chives.
step 5 For green beans, boil or steam for 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and toss with butter or olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
step 6 Serve ribs with mashed potatoes and green beans. Garnish potatoes with parsley if desired.
Storage and Reheating Tips.
Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat ribs in the oven at 350°F wrapped in foil until warmed through. Potatoes and green beans can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of milk or butter to refresh texture.
