This is my absolute favorite Baby Back Ribs recipe. I got this recipe from one of my very best friends who shared it with me to share with everyone when I guest posted for @whole30recipes on Instagram.

I had to make up my own Whole30 approved BBQ Sauce because all BBQ sauce has sugar in it and it took some trial and error....but it turned out FANTASTIC. The key to these ribs is cooking them slow and low in the oven....

BABY BACK RIBS:

I used a 2 pack of pork baby back ribs...

1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.

2. Prepare a large baking sheet by lining with foil.

3. Pat ribs dry and place on sheet meat side down.

4. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle generously with seasonings. I used salt, pepper and a BBQ Spice (I use either The Spice Hunter Cowboy BBQ Rub from Sprouts OR Savory Spice's Texas BBQ Seasoning...this one has honey powder so use this one when you're not Whole30-ing)

5. Turn ribs over, meat side up, and repeat with olive oil and seasonings.

6. With meat side up, cover each rack of ribs separately with foil, tenting the foil so it’s completely sealed but not tight.

7. Put in the oven for 1 1/2 hours at 275 degrees.

8. Turn oven up to 325 degrees F for 1 hour.

9. Check the ribs. The meat should start to retract, or pull off the edge of the bone by about 1 inch. (if this hasn’t happened yet, but back in and check every 15 mins until this happens…all ovens vary a bit, mine took an extra 20 mins.)

10. Remove foil and transfer the ribs to a clean foil lined baking sheet to get them out of the juices. Rest the ribs for 10-15 mins out of the oven.

11. Brush the ribs with a compliant BBQ Sauce in a thick layer. (recipe for mine in previous post, it works great on these ribs.)

12. Broil them at 450 degrees (high) until a dark, almost blackened “bark” forms on the top. Watch them CLOSELY, checking them every 5 mins. (Mine took about 10 mins)

13. Cool a few minutes to let the sauce set, then slice them with a serrated knife into individual ribs. I tipped them on edge to see the bone sections better.

Perfect for summer BBQ’s! These go great with a light, crisp coleslaw salad. I served them with a super simple salad of bagged "broccoli slaw" topped with dairy-free ranch. My husband said these were the best ribs he’s EVER had! Hope you enjoy them too!

Enjoy your Father's Day weekend...I'll be making these along with garlic butter shrimp for my husband and sons;)
