Making ribs at home doesn’t have to be a complicated affair. I prepare these with a simple salt and pepper rub and top generously with a sweet-meets-savory homemade barbecue sauce. A few hours in the oven and these ribs are fall-off-the-bone perfect.

This recipe yields 20-26 baby back ribs.

2 racks (1 ½ - 2 lbs each) baby back ribs
