Cooking meat from scratch can be a bit tricky for some, but with the right know-how and some delicious ingredients, you can make a tender, flavorful meal that’ll have everyone asking for seconds. Spare ribs are an all-time favorite and relatively easy to cook from scratch. Here are some tips to make it happen.

First, select your ribs. Ask your butcher for high-quality, fresh spare ribs and try to get equal pieces to ensure cooking is consistent. Next, season the ribs. Some recommend marinating overnight to add flavor but if you’re strapped for time, simply rub on a dry spice mix. For example, mix together pepper, garlic powder and some smoked paprika for flavor and color.

Once seasoned, place the ribs on a greased baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 30 minutes. During this time, combine ingredients for your BBQ sauce such as ketchup, honey, Worcestershire sauce and apple cider vinegar to taste. When the ribs are ready, brush them with the sauce and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown. Finally, remove from oven and let cool before serving.

Cooking spare ribs from scratch doesn’t have to be complicated. With a few simple steps, you can create a mouthwatering meal that is sure to please. Select high-quality ribs, season them, and bake until golden brown. Then brush with a homemade BBQ sauce for a flavorful finish. Enjoy your tasty homemade spare ribs!
