Preparation

Cooking the Ribs
  1. Place the seasoned ribs on the grill or in a foil-lined baking pan. Cook low and slow for about 2-3 hours.

Adding the BBQ Sauce

  2. Ensure the sauce bubbles and caramelizes.
Preparing the Potatoes
  1. Wash baby potatoes, toss in olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Roast at 400°F for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.
Making the Salad
  1. Slice cucumber, tomatoes, and onion, then mix together with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Plating
  1. Serve the sticky ribs alongside the roasted baby potatoes and fresh salad.

Notes

For a deeper flavor, marinate the ribs overnight. Use homemade BBQ sauce for enhanced taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze for up to 3 months.
