Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). Season ribs with garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Place in a roasting pan and brush with 1 tbsp coconut oil.
Step 2: Roast for 1.5 hours, flipping halfway through. While ribs cook, mix BBQ sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper in a bowl.
Step 3: After roasting, increase oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Brush ribs with half the sauce, then bake for 20 minutes. Flip and brush with remaining sauce. Bake for another 15-20 minutes until glaze is caramelized and ribs are tender.
