Step 1: Prep and Season
- Preheat oven to 450°F.

- Wash the meat with water and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
- Season the Spare Ribs well with salt to taste.
Step 2: Roast and Brown
- Place the seasoned Spare Ribs in a roasting pan.
- Bake for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, changing the position of the ribs periodically during baking so they get evenly brown all over until golden brown and tender.
- Remove the lid during the final stages for further browning if needed.
- When making gravy from the drippings, remove excess fat and add water if needed.
💡 Make-Ahead & Storage: Leftover spare ribs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
