Ribs With BBQ Sauce In Oven

Made with homemade BBQ sauce, these ribs with bbq sauce in oven are insanely delicious, easy and quick to make. Perfect for weeknight dinner or when having guests over.

At the end of May this year, my family and I traveled to Cuba. During our 2 weeks vacation, our neighbor Barbara was taking care of our garden.

When we returned, I’ve always wanted to make a ,,thank you” dinner for Barbara & her family, but we were both super busy. We only managed to find an appropriate date for all of us last week.

I then decided to make spareribs with a homemade BBQ sauce, because this is one of my husband’s most requested meals. I served the ribs with oven baked sweet potato fries and homemade bread. Our guests enjoyed every bit of this meal.

Making ribs with bbq sauce is way easier to make than you think.  All you have to do is make the BBQ sauce, pour it over the ribs, throw the spareribs in the oven for 90 minutes. Then leave them cooking turning several times and DONE!
