Ingredients
- 2 racks of baby back ribs
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (gluten-free if needed)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, cut into fries
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Prepare the Ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Season with brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the spices into the meat for maximum flavor.
- Bake the Ribs: Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil, meat side up. Cover with another piece of foil and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, until tender.
- Prepare the Sweet Potato Fries: While the ribs are baking, prepare the sweet potato fries. Toss the sweet potato strips with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika in a large bowl.
- Bake the Fries: After the ribs have cooked, remove the top foil and brush the ribs with BBQ sauce. Place in the oven for an additional 30 minutes, then add the sweet potato fries to the baking sheet for the last 20-25 minutes of cooking. Bake both together until the ribs are caramelized and the fries are crispy.
- Serve: Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side and enjoy your delicious meal!
