Serving Size: 6

Cooking Time: 95 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) cumin, ground
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) chili powder
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) paprika
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch pepper, to taste
• 3 Pounds (lb) baby back pork ribs
• 1 Cup barbecue sauce

Steps

1. Preheat a gas grill for high heat, or arrange charcoal briquettes on one side of the barbecue. Lightly oil the grate.
2. In a small jar, combine cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Close the lid and shake to mix.
3. Trim the membrane sheath from the back of each rack of ribs. Use a small, sharp knife to run between the membrane and each rib, snipping off the membrane as much as possible.
4. Sprinkle the spice rub onto both sides of the ribs as desired. Avoid thoroughly rubbing the spices into the ribs to prevent them from becoming too dark and spicy. Store any unused spice mix in a jar for future use.
5. Place aluminum foil on the lower rack to capture drippings and prevent flare-ups. Lay ribs on the top rack of the grill (away from the coals, if using briquettes). Reduce gas heat to low and close the lid. Cook ribs, undisturbed, until the meat pulls away easily from the bone, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
6. Brush ribs with barbecue sauce and grill for an additional 5 minutes.
7. Serve ribs as a whole rack, or cut between each rib bone and pile individually on a platter. Enjoy your savory, spice-rubbed baby back ribs!
