How to Make Appetizer Spareribs

  1. Ask your butcher to cut the 2 lb sparerib rack lengthwise into individual ribs, then crosswise through the bone into 2-2.5 inch pieces.
  2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  3. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  4. Remove from heat and pour the sauce over the spareribs in a large bowl. Toss to coat evenly.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight) to allow the ribs to marinate.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
  7. Arrange the spareribs in a single layer in the prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake, uncovered, for 60 minutes, or until the ribs are tender and the sauce has thickened and caramelized. Baste with pan juices halfway through cooking for extra flavor.
  9. Let the ribs rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
