Prepare the seasoning by adding 2 teaspoons of lemon pepper, 1.5 teaspoons of brown sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of garlic powder, 1.5 teaspoons of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of seasoned salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper into a bowl and whisking them together.

Use the spice mix to season 3 pounds of rib tips. If desired, cover the seasoned rib tips with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight for extra flavor.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a cast iron skillet or heavy skillet over medium-high heat, add avocado oil or canola oil and sear the seasoned rib tips for 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden brown.

Transfer the seared rib tips to a roasting pan lined with aluminum foil and add 1/4 cup of water to the sheet pan.

Cover the sheet pan with more aluminum foil and pinch the sides to create a seal to lock in moisture.

Roast the rib tips in the oven for 2 hours at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, flipping them halfway through and covering again with aluminum foil.

After roasting, check if the rib tips are tender and cooked through; if not, roast for another 20 to 30 minutes.

Turn the oven to the broiler setting, baste the rib tips with barbecue sauce, and broil until slightly charred and glossy.

Plate the rib tips and garnish with finely chopped parsley.
