Ingredients

• 2 racks Baby back ribs
• 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Onion powder
• 1 tablespoon Paprika
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 cups Dairy-free BBQ sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor penetration. Use a knife to lift one end and pull the membrane off with your fingers or a paper towel for better grip.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Rub the olive oil onto both sides of the rib racks, then generously apply the spice mixture, making sure the ribs are evenly coated.

Step 5

Place the ribs on a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, bone side down.

Step 6

Cover the ribs with another layer of foil, sealing the edges to create a tight packet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 2.5 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat is starting to pull away from the bones.

Step 8

Remove the ribs from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).

Step 9

Carefully open the foil packet and discard the top layer of foil.

Step 10

Brush the ribs generously with the dairy-free BBQ sauce, then return to the oven uncovered.

Step 11

Bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, basting with more BBQ sauce halfway through, until the sauce is sticky and slightly caramelized.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the ribs rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 13

Slice between the bones to serve individual ribs and enjoy!
