These Easy Oven-Baked Ribs are one of the easiest recipes ever. Cooked low and slow, which makes them so flavorful and fall off the bone tender.
Spring is fast approaching, and I can smell the barbecues already. But being that it is currently wet and cold out, making these Easy Oven-Baked Ribs from my warm and cozy kitchen will have to do for now.
These pork ribs cook low and slow. They turn out so juicy and are just fall off the bone tender.
Why should I remove the membrane?
Removing the membrane helps all the yummy dry rub get through to both sides of the ribs. Which in return makes the ribs as tender and flavorful as possible. Here is a great link to show you exactly how to do it.

I have made these ribs several times and they are always a hut. Very easy to make and so tasty!
Can I use country style ribs in this recipe? What adjustments should I make? Thank you.
Looking to make 3 racks of baby back ribs and was wondering if cook time changes and should I rotate ribs half way since I can’t fit 3 racks of ribs on 1 oven rack.
Yes, beef ribs would be different as far as the cooking time.
Is it different for beef ribs?
No, the cooking time is the same.
Hi - does the cook time change for only 1 rack of ribs?
I would definitely check the accuracy of your oven if they were overcooked. I have made this recipe several times and it's the most popular recipe on my blog never once have I had this complaint.
I have a gas oven and I don't know if it runs hot but I did over 6 lb of spare ribs and only did it for 2 hours to check and see what the temp it was and it was already way overcooked past 200, so the 275 for three hours for 6 lb is inaccurate. I hope it tastes good. I followed the rub recipe to a t.
Tried this recipe last night and WOW - the ribs were great. Super tender and amazing flavor. My family said it was the best they have had - even better than the restaurants!
