Tips and Variations:

• For extra flavor, try adding a few sprigs of rosemary or thyme to the pan while cooking.
• Experiment with different types of salt. Coarse sea salt adds a beautiful texture, while smoked salt imparts a subtle smoky flavor.
• If you’re short on time, you can use pre-made barbecue rub instead of just salt. Adjust the amount according to the rub’s salt content.
• Don’t be afraid to get creative with your sides! These ribs pair wonderfully with coleslaw, potato salad, or grilled vegetables.
• Leftovers are a bonus! The ribs are just as delicious the next day, making this a perfect recipe for meal prepping.
