Garlic Encrusted Baby Back Ribs

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 10 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 sprigs rosemary, coarsely chopped
• 2 tsp sugar
• 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp freshly ground pepper
• 4 lbs baby back pork ribs
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce

Directions

1. In a bowl, combine first 7 ingredients.
2. Place ribs in a shallow baking dish and pierce meat all over to allow the marinade to penetrate. Rub the marinade into the meat with your hands until ribs are entirely coated with garlic and herbs. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
3. Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Transfer ribs to a baking dish large enough to hold ribs in one layer. Reserve marinade. Brush both sides of ribs with BBQ sauce and arrange, meat side up, in dish. Roast on middle rack for 2 1/2 hours or until meat is cooked and tender, basting occasionally with reserved marinade.
4. Increase temperature to 500 degrees. Bake another 15 minutes, until edges are crispy. Remove from oven, cut into sections, and serve.
