2 racks Pork Baby Back Ribs
1 cup Light Brown Sugar
4 Tbsp Ancho Chile Powder
4 tsp Ground Cumin
2 tsp Paprika
2 tsp Garlic Powder
2 tsp Kosher Salt
1 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place all the dry ingredients in to a bowl and mix, rub the ribs all over with the mixture. Put the ribs in a single layer in a roasting pan and slow-roast until they are almost tender, about 2 hours.
Cook until the meat pulls easily from the bone (about 1/4-inch of bone will show).
Remove the ribs from the oven and lay them on a cutting board, meaty side down. Using a knife scrap the silver skin off the back. Cut into portions and serve.
