Easy Pork Ribs: How to Make Sweet & Spicy Brown Sugar Country Ribs! by Donna John

Country ribs with a sweet, spicy and smoky rub will take you to Flavortown – even during a busy weeknight. Not a fan of country ribs? Use the rub on pork chops, pork loin or tenderloin. 

You'll need:

• 4 - 6 country pork ribs (bone-in or boneless)
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• olive oil

Here's how to make them:

1. Combine the chili powder, brown sugar, smoked paprika and cinnamon in a bowl.
2. Season the country ribs with salt and pepper on both sides. Rub the seasoning into all sides of the ribs.
3. Put the ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle ribs with olive oil. 
4. Cook in a preheated 400-degree F oven for about 30-45 minutes, depending on how big the ribs are. Turn them over once during the cooking time. You can also baste occasionally, if desired, with the liquid that cooks out.
