This meaty oven baked dry rubbed ribs recipe is tender, easy to make,  and full of flavor & spices.  You can use this recipe for Baby Back Ribs or St. Louis Style Ribs. 

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4-5 lb (2 racks) baby back pork ribs
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 Tbsp paprika
  • 2 tsp dry oregano leaves
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dry ground mustard
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne - optional if you like a little spice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 275F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Mix all dry rub ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Peel off any tough membrane that is on the bony side of the ribs if it’s not done already (using paper towels makes this easier because fat is slippery).
  • Lay ribs on a lined pan with the meat side up (bone side down) and evenly sprinkle / rub spice mixture over top of the ribs (you may have dry rub left - save it for next time).
  • Bake dry rubbed ribs uncovered ~2 1/2 - 3 hours or until ribs are fork tender. Happy finger lickin' rib eatin'!  Beckie

Notes

  • Having trouble pulling the membrane off the ribs or don't know what I'm talking about?  Skip it.  You've probably ate it plenty of times or pulled it off after it was cooked.
  • Love your crock pot?  Segment and throw the ribs in it with the spice mix and cook on low for 8 hours.
