Garlic Parm Party Ribs

If wings can be garlic parm, why not ribs? These Garlic Parmesan Party Ribs are smoked, saucy, and straight-up addictive. We’re talking tender baby backs tossed in a buttery garlic-Parmesan mix with just the right kick of heat and lemony zip. They’re made to impress at any cookout—but easy enough to whip up on a chill weekend. Let’s get into it.

Ingredients

Ribs:

• 1 rack baby back pork ribs

• 2 tbsp avocado oil

• Your favorite BBQ rub (Cookout Dust)

• Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Garlic Parmesan Mix:

• 1 cup grated Parmesan (fresh—not the green can)

• ¼ cup unsalted butter

• 6 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

• Pinch of red pepper flakes

• Juice of 1 lemon

Directions

1. Prep the Ribs

• Score the membrane on the back of the ribs, then slice into individual bones.

• Toss the ribs in avocado oil and coat evenly with BBQ rub.

• Let them sit at room temp while you fire up your smoker to 250°F.

2. Smoke (Round 1)

• Place ribs directly on the smoker and cook for 1 hour.

3. Build the Flavor Bomb

• Transfer ribs to an aluminum tray.

• Add butter, lemon juice, garlic, Parmesan, and chopped parsley.

• Cover the tray tightly with foil.

4. Smoke (Round 2)

• Increase smoker temp to 325°F.

• Cook covered for another hour until ribs are tender and juicy.

5. Finish & Serve

• Uncover and spoon that garlicky parmesan butter all over the ribs.

• Garnish with extra Parmesan and parsley if you’re feelin’ fancy.

• Serve hot, messy, and proud.
