Title: Dry Ribs

Ingredients:
– 2 racks of pork baby back ribs
– 2 tablespoons brown sugar
– 2 teaspoons paprika
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– BBQ sauce (optional, for serving)
– Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the ribs by removing the thin membrane from the back of the rack. This will help the seasonings penetrate the meat better.

3. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a dry rub.

4. Rub the dry spice mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated on both sides. For best results, let the ribs marinate in the spices for at least 30 minutes, or you can cover and refrigerate them overnight for even more flavor.

5. Place the seasoned ribs on the prepared baking sheet and cover the ribs tightly with foil. This will help them cook slowly and retain their tenderness.

6. Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and almost falling off the bone. Halfway through cooking, you can baste the ribs with any drippings that have accumulated in the foil for extra juiciness.

7. Once the ribs are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them into individual ribs.

8. For an extra touch of flavor, you can brush the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce and place them under the broiler for a few minutes to caramelize the sauce slightly.

9. Garnish the ribs with fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and freshness before serving.

Enjoy these delectable dry ribs with your favorite sides and a cold drink for a meal that is sure to impress your family and friends. The tender meat and flavorful spices make these ribs a standout dish that will have everyone asking for seconds. Bring a taste of the South to your table with this easy and delicious dry ribs recipe!
