Rinse rib racks under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels.5 Place bone-side down in a shallow roasting pan large enough to lay them flat. Cut ribs into smaller sections, if needed. 6 Add enough sauce to generously coat the ribs. Bake in preheated oven at 375°F for 30 minutes or until the ribs are tender and falling off the bone.7 Makes enough sauce for several batches of ribs.
