Recipe Makes (Approximate): 4 people

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds pork baby back ribs (cut in half)
  • 1 tablespoon Whole30 BBQ rub (see recipe below)
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (Whole30 BBQ sauce)

Whole30 BBQ Rub

  • ½ tablespoon cumin (powder)
  • ½ tablespoon paprika (powder)
  • ½ tablespoon garlic (powder)
  • ½ tablespoon onion (powder)
  • ½ tablespoon chipotle chili (powder)
  • 1 pinch - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper ((if you use 1/4 teaspoon it will be very spicy!))
  • ½ teaspoon pepper (black )
  • ½ teaspoon pepper (white)
  • 4 teaspoons salt (kosher )
  • 1 teaspoon oil (olive)

Instructions

  • Preheat a gas grill for high heat. Lightly oil the grate.
  • In a small bowl, combine cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chipotle chili powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, white pepper, and salt.
  • Trim the membrane sheath from the back of each rack. Run a small, sharp knife between the membrane and each rib, and snip off the membrane as much as possible.
  • Sprinkle the rub evenly over both sides of ribs until totally coated; do not rub in. Stack one half of the ribs on top of the other and place on a large piece of foil. Fold up foil and seal, then place on top rack of grill. Reduce heat to low, close lid, and leave undisturbed for 1 hour. Do not lift the lid!
  • After an hour, open foil and place rib rack halves directly on grill. Brush ribs with barbecue sauce, and grill an additional 5 minutes. Serve as a half rack or cut ribs in between bones to serve individually. Serve with additional BBQ sauce.

Recipe Notes

Serve as a half rack or cut ribs in between bones to serve individually. Serve with additional BBQ sauce.
