ingredients
- 2 racks of pork ribs (about 4 lbs total)
- 1 lb bacon
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
steps
- 1.
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- 2.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the garlic aoli sauce.
- 3.
Prepare the ribs by removing the thin membrane from the back of each rack. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- 4.
Wrap each rack of ribs tightly with bacon, securing it with toothpicks, if necessary. Place the bacon-wrapped ribs on the prepared baking sheet.
- 5.
Brush the garlic aoli sauce over the bacon-wrapped ribs, making sure to cover each rack completely.
- 6.
Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil, sealing it tightly. This will help keep the ribs moist during the cooking process.
- 7.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and begins to pull away from the bone.
- 8.
Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Return the uncovered ribs to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the bacon to crisp up.
- 9.
Once cooked, transfer the ribs to a cutting board and let them rest for a few minutes. Cut into individual or double bone servings and serve hot with any remaining garlic aoli sauce on the side.
