My BBQ ribs in oven recipe is so easy to make and results in slow-cooked fall-off-the-bone tender country-style beef ribs roasted alongside seasonal vegetables for the perfect one-pan meal.

Sheet Pan Ribs and Veggies

Today I’m teaching you how to make this summer meal of BBQ ribs in the oven with veggies in one pan… without having to stand over a hot grill. Intrigued? In about 3 hours you’ll have slow-cooked, fall-off-the-bone tender country-style beef ribs coated in a thick layer of legendary Stubbs Sweet Honey and Spice Bar-B-Q sauce, served alongside the just-as-tender seasonal roasted vegetables of your choice.

Y’all, I love me some ribs, always have. Growing up, finding out we had ribs meant we were having a feast! And to this day there is something about a big rack of them that just makes the day extra special. With summer quickly approaching, we’ll be getting together with family and I just know I’ll be turning to this one-pan main dish to satisfy everyone’s hunger. It seriously couldn’t be easier to make. So I can spend less time in the kitchen and more time with family.

Now, I have always made my ribs in the oven. With a little know-how, it’s easy to mimic the taste of the grill. To make my easy oven-baked ribs, all you’re going to need is ribs, bbq sauce, veggies, a spice rub, and some olive oil for drizzling. We start by baking our ribs, wrapped in foil and smothered in barbecue sauce, for 2 hours. Then we unwrap them and cover the pan with the seasoned and drizzled veggies. Roast them until they’re just how you like them and you’re done!

Why use Stubbs?

Stubb’s is my favorite barbecue sauce to use in this ribs recipe because it is an easy-to-find sauce with a slow-cooked homemade taste that really stands out from the other bottles on the shelf. This is their 50th anniversary, too. 50 years ago C. B. Stubblefield (known as “Stubb”) opened his original restaurant in Lubbock, Texas. A big part of that menu was his famous rib platter, along with a rib sandwich and ribs by the pound. 

Alright, let’s get baking my bbq ribs recipe!

How to Make BBQ Ribs in the Oven With VeggiesCover ribs in bbq sauce, wrap in foil, and bake.

Begin by placing the entire rack of ribs on a large piece of aluminum foil and brushing it with Bar-B-Q sauce.

Wrap the ribs up well in the tin foil and place them on a baking sheet.

Bake at 300 for two hours. Yes, I said 300 for two hours.

Add veggies to baking sheet and roast again.

After two hours, unwrap the ribs and either leave them in the opened foil packet or remove them (either way is fine).

Surround them with bite-sized veggies of your choice.

You want them to be kinda small so they get done. And be sure you cook them to your desired doneness because everyone likes their food like they like their food – and that’s a good thing!

Drizzle the veggies with olive oil and sprinkle them with the seasoning of your choice.

I like to use Stubb’s Bar-B-Q rub because it complements the sauce on the ribs perfectly, but you can also just give them a nice sprinkling of kosher salt.

Give the ribs another generous brushing of Bar-B-Q sauce.

Arrange veggies around them and return to the oven for one more hour or until veggies reach your desired tenderness.

This allows the sauce to really thicken and stick to that delicious rib meat.

And this deliciousness is your final product.

Have a wonderful summer! Take it slow when you can and make some memories, spending time with friends and family.

Storage

  • Store the oven-baked ribs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat them, wrap them in foil or parchment paper and place them in a 300-degree oven until heated through. If you have leftover bbq sauce, slather that on before serving.
  • To freeze the baked ribs, wrap them in foil and place them in a freezer bag or airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating as above.

Recipe Notes

  • You can use any type of seasoning on your vegetables. 
  • You can also use your favorite bbq sauce, like my homemade bbq sauce.
  • Finally, you can use any veggies too. Some of my favorites: potato, sweet potato, bell pepper, onion, carrot, broccoli, or cauliflower. 

Recipe FAQs

How long does it take to cook ribs in the oven?

When wrapped in foil, you can cook your ribs for up to 3 hours in a 300-degree oven. This is the route we follow in this beef rib recipe.

What temp do I cook ribs in the oven?

You can cook ribs in the oven at 300, 350, or 400 degrees if you want to halve the cooking time. But slow-cooked ribs are just so good, y’all. I recommend sticking to 300 degrees.

While you can cook ribs in the oven covered with aluminum foil or uncovered, I strongly recommend covering them in the beginning. The tin foil keeps the moisture in and prevents the cooking ribs from drying out. Then when we unwrap them at the end, this gives the ribs time to get a little crispy.

You want to cook ribs in the oven bone side up (or meat side down).

Do you flip ribs when cooking in the oven?

No, there’s no need to flip the ribs when cooking them in the oven.

Is it better to cook ribs slow or fast?

Slow-cooked tender ribs are definitely superior in my opinion!

What do you serve with bbq ribs?

Now, this bbq rib recipe is the perfect one-pan main dish as is. But if you’d prefer to add another side dish to your bbq feast or substitute the veggies for something else, here are some suggestions:

  1. My husband would be very upset with just one rack of ribs. Recipe sound delish. I prepare country ribs in the oven using Foy’s BBQ Sauce and Sweet Baby Ray’s and friends are in shock that you can get great tasting ribs cooked in the oven. Look forward to trying your recipe.

  2. Christy I’ve never cooked ribs in the oven but am going to give this a try! When you put the ribs back in with the veggies, the foil remains open?
