6
Line a large cookie sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up. Place the ribs on the sheet with the meat side facing up.

Pour any remaining sauce from the bowl over the ribs, allowing it to pool around them.
8
Sprinkle garlic salt evenly over the top of the ribs for added flavor.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, turning the ribs every 20 minutes to ensure they cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the glaze.
