Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. Pat the pork ribs dry and season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Step 2: Place the seasoned ribs on a baking sheet, meat side up. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bones easily.
Step 3: While the ribs are cooking, toss baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a separate baking sheet and roast at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 30 minutes until golden and crispy.
Step 4: In the final 15 minutes of rib cooking, remove the foil and brush the ribs generously with BBQ sauce. Return to the oven uncovered so the sauce caramelizes and becomes sticky.
Step 5: Arrange the cooked ribs on a serving plate with the roasted potatoes. Add fresh cucumber slices, tomato slices, and onion slices around the plate for brightness and crunch.
Step 6: Serve immediately while the ribs are hot and sticky, with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftover ribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the vegetables separate if you prefer them fresher for the next day.
To reheat, place ribs on a baking sheet, cover with foil, and warm in a 325 degree Fahrenheit oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Brush with a little more BBQ sauce to restore that sticky glaze.
The roasted potatoes can be reheated in the oven or microwaved. Fresh vegetables like cucumbers and tomatoes are best enjoyed fresh or added just before serving.
