BBQ Glazed Ribs with Fries
Instructions
For the Ribs:
-
Prepare the Ribs:
- Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for tender meat. Rub the ribs with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.
-
Cook the Ribs:
- Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5–3 hours, until the ribs are tender.
-
Glaze the Ribs:
- Preheat your grill to medium heat or set your oven to broil.
- Unwrap the ribs and brush them generously with BBQ sauce.
- Grill or broil for 5–10 minutes until the sauce caramelizes and becomes sticky. Watch closely to avoid burning.
For the Fries:
-
Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel and cut the potatoes into thin sticks or wedges.
- Soak them in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.
-
Season and Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Spread them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Serving
- Serve the ribs hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired, alongside the crispy fries. Pair with extra BBQ sauce for dipping and your favorite coleslaw or salad for a complete meal.
