Ingredients
1 slab baby back ribs (about 2½ pounds)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon dry mustard
¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cumin, paprika, and dry mustard. Mix well and set the dry rub aside.
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, ensuring the foil is large enough to completely wrap around the entire slab of ribs. Brush both sides of the ribs generously with the vegetable oil.
Sprinkle the spice rub evenly over both the top and bottom of the ribs, pressing gently so it adheres well. Wrap the foil tightly around the ribs, sealing the packet completely to trap the moisture and heat.
Place the foil packet on the baking sheet and put it in the preheated oven. Immediately reduce the oven temperature to 275°F.
Bake the ribs for 3½ to 4 hours, until the meat is very tender and pulls away easily from the bones.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and set the oven to high broil. Unwrap the foil packet (watch for hot steam) and transfer the ribs directly onto the baking sheet, arranging them so they lay flat.
Place the baking sheet on the middle rack under the broiler for 5 to 10 minutes, watching carefully, until the exterior is crispy and the edges are caramelized and browned. Serve immediately as is, or brush with your favorite barbecue sauce if desired.
