Remove the foil and brush a generous layer of BBQ sauce over the ribs. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and roast for another 15-20 minutes until the sauce caramelizes.
Optional: For an extra glaze, brush with a second layer of BBQ sauce halfway through.
Rest and Serve
Let the ribs rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain their juices for maximum flavor.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serving: Pair these oven-roasted ribs with coleslaw, baked beans, cornbread, or roasted vegetables for a full, satisfying meal.
Storage: Store leftover ribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 10-15 minutes to keep them moist.
Freezing: To freeze, wrap the ribs tightly in foil or plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Variations
Spicy Kick: Add extra cayenne pepper or a teaspoon of hot sauce to the rub for a spicier version.
Honey Garlic Glaze: Mix honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce for a sweet and savory twist. Brush the mixture over the ribs in place of BBQ sauce.
Dry Rub Only: Skip the BBQ sauce altogether for a crispy, spice-packed dry rub rib.
Asian-Inspired: Replace BBQ sauce with teriyaki glaze and sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
