A quick and easy sheet pan oven ribs recipe that pairs tender, smoky ribs with roasted sweet corn, perfect for a fuss-free Father’s Day meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 to 2.5 pounds pork spare ribs, trimmed and patted dry
  • 3 ears sweet corn, husked and cleaned
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the back. Place ribs bone-side down on a rimmed baking sheet, leaving space for the corn.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, brown sugar, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to make the garlic butter glaze.
  4. Brush about half of the glaze evenly over the ribs, making sure to coat all crevices. Reserve the remaining glaze.
  5. Husk the ears of corn and remove the silk. Drizzle with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place the corn on the baking sheet next to the ribs.
  6. Loosely tent the ribs with aluminum foil to keep moisture in. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil, brush the ribs with the remaining glaze, and continue roasting uncovered for another 15-20 minutes until the glaze caramelizes and the corn is tender and slightly charred.
  8. Check for doneness; ribs should be tender and pulling away from the bone. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of about 190°F (88°C) if available.
  9. Remove from oven and let ribs rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the corn and ribs.
  10. Slice the ribs between the bones and serve with the roasted sweet corn.

Notes

For gluten-free, verify chili powder and paprika labels. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan butter. Add a drop of liquid smoke for extra smoky flavor. Watch corn closely to avoid overcooking. Leftover ribs reheat well wrapped in foil at 300°F for 15 minutes.
