Description
Tender and flavorful baby back ribs slow-cooked to perfection, then finished under the broiler for a delicious caramelized glaze.
Ingredients
- 2 racks baby back ribs (about 3–4 lbs total)
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (use your favorite; thicker sauces caramelize better)
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove the membrane and cut racks to fit the slow cooker.
- Season the ribs with spices (a simple dry rub).
- Layer ribs in the slow cooker and coat with BBQ sauce.
- Cook low and slow until tender (about 360 minutes).
- Optional: Broil briefly for a sticky, caramelized finish.
- Serve and enjoy with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
Notes
For best results, let seasoned ribs rest in the fridge for 1–2 hours or overnight before cooking.
