This weekend I was scouring for new Barbecue recipes and came across Barefoot Contessa’s Foolproof Ribs. I just had a hankering and thought this would begin our celebration for Father’s Day. Easy Oven Baked Ribs for Fathers Day or any day. 

A week-long celebration, he deserves it right. Either that or I was too impatient to wait until next weekend to try this recipe!  My husband has made ribs on the grill before but I was thrilled to try this recipe.

Easy oven baked ribs recipe that anyone can do and any time of year since you bake them in the oven first.

Easy Oven Baked Ribs: Foolproof Ribs Recipe 

This barbecue recipe starts out with making your own sauce. I did not read the directions first and thought you just baked them and then added the sauce so I was in a bit of a rush to make the sauce. It takes a good 40 minutes to make this sauce.

Check out this post, if you want a good no-cook BBQ sauce and father’s day gift idea My husband said let’s just use Rays sauce, I am glad we did not this was well worth the wait. 

I was a little nervous at the look of the sauce at the beginning, it has a lot of ingredients.

After 30 minutes of simmering, look at this amazing barbecue sauce now. My husband and I were eating it by the spoonful. It had an addicting kick to it that was amazing.

You can easily make this a few days ahead of time and just keep it in the fridge. We had some left over after our dinner as well.

HOW DO YOU PREP RIBS FOR COOKING

Can I cook ribs straight from the grocery store?

Now for the prep of the ribs, could not be simpler. Just flavor with salt and pepper and lavish it with sauce. Cover lightly with tin foil and in the oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Depending on your type of ribs.

Smother with your BBQ Sauce. 

Look how dark the sauce got in the oven with all the sugar of the bbq sauce. If you are entertaining you stop here and put the ribs into the fridge.

Then bake per the directions based on what type of ribs you are serving.

What type of grill should I use to Finish my easy oven baked ribs? 

We have used both a gas grill as well as a charcoal grill to finish off these oven-baked ribs. It just depends on how much time you have and what you have available. Either one will give you an amazing carmelized sauce. 

Now on the grill for only 5 minutes per side after being coated with more BBQ sauce.

Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes cut and serve.

WE definitely needed to serve it with more BBQ sauce but we devoured the entire 2 racks of St. Louis ribs. Truly an easy ribs recipe.
