- 6.5 lbs baby back ribs
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
Prep the ribs
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for extra tenderness.
Pat ribs dry with paper towels.
Season the ribs with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Rub the seasoning into the ribs, let sit for a few minutes or season the night before for more flavor.
Set up your rotisserie/churrasco
Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 300°F–325°F).
Attach the ribs to the rotisserie spit, securing them tightly so they don’t shift.
Place the rotisserie spit onto the grill. Let cook for 25 minutes
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches about 190°F for fall-off-the-bone ribs.
Remove from the grill, let rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
