Ingredients

Dry Rub:

• 2 racks baby back ribs
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons onion powder
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 tablespoons cumin
• 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon salt (divide into 4 equal parts-one for each side of the ribs)
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 275°F. Combine your spices in a small bowl with the exception of the salt. Divide the tablespoon of salt equally so you can season each side of a rack (2 racks divide into fourths). Genoursouly season the ribs with the spice mixture on both sides. Allow ribs to sit out at room temperature for 45 min. to 1 hour.
2. Place your ribs with the meat side up in a foil pan or a foiled lined baking sheet. Cover them with foil and bake at 275° F for 2 1⁄2 hours.
3. Uncover the ribs, flip them over so meat side is facing down. Baste ribs with BBQ sauce and bake 10-15 minutes, flip ribs over to meat side up. Baste with BBQ sauce then bake another 10-15 minutes.

**Additional notes** If you don’t like BBQ sauce, remove the foil and bake ribs uncovered 15 minutes. Flip them over and bake another 15 minutes. Serve with whatever sides you like most.
