Cayenne Cinnamon Baby Back Ribs

Cayenne Cinnamon Baby Back Ribs

1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon garlic powder

2 teaspoons paprika

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 teaspoon cayenne powder

1 teaspoon sea salt

3 pounds pork baby back ribs

Your favorite BBQ Sauce, if desired

Preheat oven to 375F (or prepare your grill if you like to sweat). Remove the tough membrane from the underside of the ribs. Wash them well and pat dry.

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, garlic powder, both paprikas, ground cinnamon, cayenne and salt. Place ribs on a double layer of tin foil (large enough to wrap around ribs) and season the ribs on both sides with the rub. Fold over foil and completely cover ribs.

Place ribs on baking sheet or roasting pan. Bake 1-1/2 hours or until meat starts to pull away from bones.Carefully open foil. Brush ribs with BBQ Sauce if desired. Return to oven (leaving foil open) and roast 30 minutes. Carefully turn ribs over, brush with more BBQ sauce and bake for 15-30 minutes more or until ribs are very tender and browned.

These are delicious! Falling apart tender and very flavorful.
