Easy Baby Back Ribs Recipe

These baby back ribs are not only easy to prepare but also cook in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods. The Instant Pot seals in all the flavors, resulting in juicy, fall-off-the-bone goodness that will have everyone asking for seconds.

Ingredients

2 racks of baby back ribs (about 4–5 pounds)
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for a kick)
1 cup barbecue sauce
1 cup water

Instructions

Start by mixing the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl to create a dry rub.
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor and tenderness.
Generously rub the spice mix all over the ribs, ensuring they are well-coated on both sides.
Pour the water into the Instant Pot and place a trivet inside. Arrange the ribs upright on the trivet, bending them slightly if necessary to fit.
Close the lid, set the valve to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 25 minutes. Allow for a natural release for about 10 minutes before performing a quick release for any remaining pressure.
Carefully remove the ribs and place them on a baking sheet lined with foil. Brush your favorite barbecue sauce generously over the ribs.
Optionally, broil the ribs in the oven for 3-5 minutes to caramelize the sauce and get a nice char on the top.
Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side for dipping.

Enjoy your delicious Instant Pot baby back ribs at your next gathering or family dinner. The savory flavors and tender meat will be a hit, making you the star of the table!
