4 pounds (2 kg) baby back pork ribs
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili or Cayenne powder (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)
Peel off tough membrane that covers the underside/bony side of the ribs. Place on a baking sheet or tray lined with foil (or parchment paper)
*** You can marinade ribs in Grandma Irma Sauce for 1 hour prior to cooking. Great to cook on grill or oven***
If Baking:
Remove ribs from the oven, remove foil and spread the tops of the ribs with the barbecue sauce mixture
Increase oven temperature to 460°F (240°C). Return ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for a further 10 minutes. Change oven settings to broil (or grill) on medium-high heat to lightly char and caramelize the edges (about 3 minutes)
Lather Grandma Irma Sauce on the ribs
Let the Ribs rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to recirculate back into the meat before slicing.
