Preheat oven to 160 C/320 F and move the rack to the middle position in the oven. Use a glass oven proof baking dish or line a large baking tray/pan with foil. Ensure the tray will allow the ribs to sit flat..
Drizzle olive oil on both sides of ribs. Sprinkle the BBQ spice mix on both sides and massage into the ribs. Pour 2 tablespoons of ACV- apple cider vinegar onto the base of the baking tray/foil. Place the ribs into the baking tray meaty side up.
Cover the ribs with foil, sealing around the edge of the baking tray. Bake for 2 to 2 ½ hours or until the meat is tender enough to fall off the bones.
While the ribs are cooking, combine all of the Rib BBQ Sauce ingredients together and whisk until well blended. Set aside.
Remove the foil and spoon the Rib BBQ Sauce onto the back and front of the ribs. Be more generous with the sauce on the meaty side of the ribs. Increase the oven temperature to 180 C/ 360 F.
Place the ribs back in the oven, meaty side down and cook for a further 10 minutes or until they start to brown slightly. Remove ribs from the oven and turn them over meaty side up, cooking for a further 10 minutes or until the ribs start to brown slightly.
Serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
Temperature times are for finer cut of pork ribs. If your ribs are thicker and meatier, you may have to cook them initially on the lower temperature. For eg, I have baked thicker beef ribs and they have taken 3-4 hours to reach the fall off the bone stage.You can use the grill and bake function in your oven if desired for the final cooking stage but please watch your ribs to ensure they don't brown too much before turning them over. This might only need 5 minutes on each side.If you have BBQ sauce left over, it can be frozen for use at another date, or heat it up and use as additional rib sauce.
