Generously serves 2 - 3
Feel free to substitute 3 tablespoons of regular or brown sugar for the maple sugar, if you wish.
Spice Rub
3 Tablespoons maple sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 rack baby back pork ribs
1. Preheat the oven to 250˚.
2. Combine all of the spice rub ingredients together in a small bowl.
3. Place the rack of ribs on a rimmed baking sheet and rub it all over with the spice rub. (I used all of the spice rub.) Leave the rack bone-side down on the baking sheet.
4. Roast at 250˚ for 3½ hours.
5. Turn a gas grill on High to preheat.
6. After the grill is hot, follow your grill’s instructions for indirect grilling. For my 3-burner grill, I turned one burner down to Medium, and turned the other two off.
7. Place the rack ribs over the burners that are turned off and cook with the lid down for about 10 minutes.
8. Turn the rack over. Close the lid and cook for another 10 minutes.
9. Cut between the bones into individual ribs and serve.
