Ingredients
  

  • 4 lbs. spare ribs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • For the dry rub:
  • 1 ½ tbsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp cayenne powder
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • ¾ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp mustard powder
  • 1 ½ tsp Italian herbs
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 ½ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the spare ribs by peeing off any membrane present on the bony part of the ribs. Pat the ribs dry using a kitchen towel.
  • Drizzle olive oil over the ribs and rub them with your hands.
  • Add all the ingredients for the dry rub in a bowl, i.e., smoked paprika, cayenne powder, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian herbs, mustard powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix so that everything is well combined.
  • Prepare the baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil. Place the spare ribs on the tin foil-lined baking tray. Keep the meaty side facing upwards.
  • Generously sprinkle the prepared dry rub over the spare ribs. Pat them so that the dry rub sticks to the ribs.
  • Place the baking tray in a preheated oven at 275 degrees F for about two or two and a half hours or until the meat is cooked and starts falling off the bones.
  • Once done, take the baking tray out of the oven and serve the spare ribs with your favorite side and barbecue sauce. Enjoy!
