Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
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.
Generously apply the rub onto both sides of the ribs, pressing it in so it adheres well.
Wrap each rack tightly in aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for a deeper flavor.
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
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.
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Carefully remove the ribs from the foil and place them on the grill.
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.
Remove from grill and let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
