Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
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.
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
Rub the olive oil onto both sides of the rib racks, then generously apply the spice mixture, making sure the ribs are evenly coated.
Place the ribs on a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, bone side down.
Cover the ribs with another layer of foil, sealing the edges to create a tight packet.
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.
Remove the ribs from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Carefully open the foil packet and discard the top layer of foil.
Brush the ribs generously with the dairy-free BBQ sauce, then return to the oven uncovered.
Bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, basting with more BBQ sauce halfway through, until the sauce is sticky and slightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and let the ribs rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice between the bones to serve individual ribs and enjoy!
