 Easy Fall-Off-the-Bone Oven-Baked Ribs 

Ingredients:

2 racks baby back ribs

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tbsp smoked paprika

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tbsp onion powder

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

2 cups BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F).

Prepare the Ribs:

Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better tenderness. To do this, use a knife to lift a corner of the membrane and then pull it off with your fingers or a paper towel.

Season the Ribs:

Mix brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl.

Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs.

Bake the Ribs:

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

Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat is pulling away from the bone.

Caramelize with BBQ Sauce:

Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap the foil.

Brush the ribs generously with BBQ sauce on both sides.

Increase the oven temperature to 220°C (425°F) and return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and caramelized.

Serve:

Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.

Notes:

For even more flavor, marinate the ribs in the dry rub overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
