Baked ribs and potatoes with green beans on a sheet pan - 1

When I’m craving a hearty, comforting dinner but don’t want to spend all night in the kitchen, this is the kind of recipe I reach for. I tend to judge meals by three simple things: does it taste great, is it easy to make, and is it made with good ingredients? This ribs and potatoes dinner checks every box.

There’s very little prep involved, and once everything’s in the oven, it pretty much takes care of itself. After a couple of hours, the ribs come out tender and juicy, the potatoes are perfectly cooked, and dinner feels cozy and satisfying without any extra effort.

Tips for cooking ribs in the oven

Cooking ribs in the oven is super easy, but there are two tricks you need to know to make sure your oven-baked ribs are extra juicy and tender:

  1. When you are baking pork ribs, make sure to cover them with aluminum foil. This prevents them from drying out. A quick broil at the end will brown them nicely, so they’ll be juicy and pretty!
  2. Put the ribs in the oven at a low temperature. I like to cook them at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for a total time of 2 hours. The low and slow cooking method will turn them into fall-off-the-bone tender ribs.

What type of ribs should I use for sheet-pan ribs?

This recipe calls for a rack of pork back ribs. They can also be referred to as baby back ribs or back ribs.

How do I store leftover baked ribs and potatoes?

Slice what’s left of the rack to make individual ribs for easier storage, then pop them into an airtight container and put them in the fridge for 3-4 days.

What side dishes can I serve with ribs and potatoes?

While the oven is on, pop in some roasted asparagus or make a roasted broccoli salad . Cut up some other veggies, like large yellow onions, carrots, or sweet potatoes, and pop them in the oven at the same time. Add a little color to the plate with a vibrant Asian slaw or kale salad . To mix things up, you can swap out the roasted potatoes for roasted garlic mashed potatoes !

Can I adjust the spice level?

Even though cayenne is in the ingredients, I wouldn’t describe these ribs as particularly spicy. However, if someone is sensitive to the spice powder, you can certainly adjust it or omit it!

How do I prepare my ribs?

It depends on the rack of ribs you get. Some ribs need to have the membrane removed—it’s a silver skin on the back of the ribs. If you find it’s still attached, use a pairing knife to lift off a little, then simply pull the rest back. If your ribs are particularly moist, you can also pat them down with paper towels to absorb extra moisture before coating them with the spices.
