Ingredients
- 2 racks baby back ribs
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 cups gluten-free BBQ sauce
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the ribs by removing the membrane from the back of each rack. To do this, slide a knife under the membrane to loosen, then grab with a paper towel and pull it off.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper to create the rub.
Step 3
Generously apply the rub onto both sides of the ribs, pressing it in so it adheres well.
Step 4
Wrap each rack tightly in aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for a deeper flavor.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
Step 6
Place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bones.
Step 7
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Step 8
Carefully remove the ribs from the foil and place them on the grill.
Step 9
Brush the ribs with the gluten-free BBQ sauce and grill for about 5-10 minutes per side, basting frequently with the sauce, until they are charred to your liking.
Step 10
Remove from grill and let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
