Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
For the ribs
- 2 pounds baby back pork ribs
- 1/2 cup sugar-free Barbecue Sauce or your favorite store-bought sauce.
For the rub
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300° and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- It’s important to peel off the membrane on the back of the ribs to bring more flavor to the ribs. You remove it by sliding a dull knife under the membrane and over a bone. Then, just lift and loosen the membrane until it tears. Grip the membrane and pull it away.
- In a small glass bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, cumin and chili powder. Sprinkle seasoning and rub it front and back of the ribs.
- Place the ribs on prepared baking sheet. Cover with foil and bake until very tender, 2 hours.
- Set the oven to broil. Remove foil from ribs and brush both sides with barbecue sauce. Broil until sauce just starts to caramelize, 2 to 4 minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
- To store: Place the leftover ribs in an airtight container and it'll keep for up to 5 days in the fridge.
- To reheat: You can reheat ribs in the oven or the microwave. I recommend covering them in tin foil in the oven to keep them from drying out.
- To freeze: Let the ribs cool before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.
