Low and slow is the way to go here for these fall-off-the-bone oven-baked ribs! It frees up your time so you can focus on getting other things done instead of worrying about dinner.
Make the spice rub by combining the paprika, coconut sugar, garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper, onion powder, and cumin in a bowl.
If the membrane is still on the ribs, remove it. You can also ask your butcher to remove this before you buy them.
Slather the ribs with a thin layer of mustard and then coat generously with the spice rub mixture, pressing in with your hands. I use all of the spice rub mixture, however, you may have some left over.
Place the ribs on a wire rack on a sheet pan and cover with parchment paper, then seal with aluminum foil.
Bake for 3 ½ hours.
Remove from the oven and baste the ribs with the BBQ sauce.
Return to the oven and broil for 5 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Serve and ENJOY!
Notes
You may need to adjust some of the measurements depending on how many mouths you’re planning to feed. Two full racks of ribs will serve anywhere from four to six people, depending on how hungry they are. You can scale back the recipe to just one rack of ribs if you’re feeding a smaller crew. But again, go ahead and make the full spice rub mixture. It’s equally delicious on chicken thighs and breasts.
