Ingredients:

• 2 racks of pork ribs (about 3-4 pounds each)
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup barbecue sauce (homemade or store-bought)

Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). This low temperature will help the ribs become tender and juicy.
2. Prepare the Ribs:
   • If the ribs have a thin membrane on the back (also called the silver skin), remove it by loosening it with a knife and pulling it off with a paper towel. This step helps the seasonings penetrate the meat better.
   • Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
3. Make the Spice Rub:
   • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
4. Season the Ribs:
   • Rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, coating them evenly on both sides.
5. Wrap and Marinate (Optional):
   • If you have time, wrap the seasoned ribs in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for even more flavor.
6. Bake the Ribs:
   • Place the seasoned ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper, bone side down.
   • Cover the ribs tightly with aluminum foil, sealing the edges to trap steam inside.
7. Slow Cook:
   • Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the ribs for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bones. This slow cooking method ensures the ribs are juicy and flavorful.
8. Glaze with Barbecue Sauce:
   • Remove the foil from the ribs and brush them generously with barbecue sauce.
   • Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.
9. Rest and Serve:
   • Once cooked, remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
   • Cut the ribs into individual portions and serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
