There’s something about the smell of barbecue that you can’t explain. Being able to have the smell of barbecue inside of your kitchen is even better. Keep in mind you don’t always need an outdoor grill to create great tasting ribs. The recipe I’m about to show you gives you succulent and tender Baby Back Ribs right from your oven. You’ll still end up getting the taste of barbecue, even without a grill.

This recipe was inspired by the Super Simple Slow-Cooked Ribs recipe from Penzeys Spices. In my version, I add another Penzeys Spices seasoning called the Mural of Flavor to the ribs.

Ingredients
1 Rack of Baby Back Ribs
3 tbs. of BBQ 3000 Seasoning
1 1/2 tbs. of Mural of Flavor Seasoning
Salt
Pepper

Steps
Preheat your oven to 250°F. While the oven is heating up, cut the rack of ribs into 4 different sections. Wash the ribs and dry them afterwards. Season the ribs on both sides.

Take a baking pan and place the ribs with the meat side up. Bake the ribs for 3-4 hours. During the last 30 minutes of cooking, turn the ribs over with the bone side up.

With the slow cooking time this recipe requires, the ribs become succulent and tender. The flavors from the seasonings just soak into the ribs. Of course you could use your own rub or seasonings for the ribs, but I go with the BBQ 3000 and Mural of Flavor from Penzeys Spices. The BBQ 3000 gives you that touch of hickory smoke flavor with just a hint of heat, which both pair well when doing barbecue. The Mural of Flavor is a salt free blend of herbs and spices. The flavors of rosemary and thyme complement several other spices like garlic, lemon peel, shallots, chives, and green peppercorns, which give this seasoning a complex feel.

Most importantly is that Penzeys’ products are guaranteed fresh and have not been sitting on store shelves for years, like other brands. You can tell right away in your cooking.

For even added flavor, baste the ribs with some barbecue sauce like this one.

Don’t let the screaming face trick you into think that this sauce is lava in a bottle. It’s actually sweeter than it is spicy. Original Juan’s Batch #37 Garlic-Que BBQ Sauce brings traditional Kansas City barbecue and garlic from Gilroy, CA together. The end result is a sweet tasting barbecue sauce with just a slight sizzle of heat.

After cooking the ribs I finished them with this sauce which gave me that finishing barbecue touch to the oven roasted ribs.
