Ingredients

• 2 racks pork baby back ribs
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 cup barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).

Step 2

Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by sliding a knife under it and pulling it off with a paper towel for grip.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper to create the dry rub.

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 5

Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, or until they are tender and cooked through.

Step 7

While the ribs are baking, prepare the glaze by combining the barbecue sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until fully mixed.

Step 8

Once the ribs are done baking, remove them from the foil and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.

Step 9

Brush the ribs generously with the barbecue glaze on both sides.

Step 10

Set your oven to broil, then place the ribs under the broiler for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized and sticky. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 11

Remove the ribs from the oven and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into individual ribs.

Step 12

Serve the ribs warm with extra barbecue sauce on the side for dipping, and enjoy!
