Whether you're cooking for Dad, your partner, or just feeding your people, these ribs bring the flavor. Coated in A Sprinkle of Spice, finished with a buttery foil wrap, and made with love.
Ingredients
- 1–2 racks pork spare ribs or baby back ribs
- 2–3 tbsp Tasty Tin® A Sprinkle of Spice (more if making multiple racks)
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard (optional, as a binder)
- 2–3 tbsp brown sugar (optional for sweet heat crust)
- 3–4 chunks unsalted butter (per rack)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1–2 tbsp honey
Directions
Prep the ribs:
- Flip the ribs bone-side up and remove the thin membrane. Use a butter knife to lift a corner, then grab it with a paper towel and peel it off. This helps the seasoning absorb fully.
- Rub a light layer of yellow mustard on both sides of the ribs. It won’t affect the flavor but helps the seasoning stick and form a better crust.
- Coat the ribs with A Sprinkle of Spice. For a sweet-spicy crust, mix equal parts brown sugar and A Sprinkle of Spice before rubbing it in.
Grill or smoke low & slow:
- Set your grill or smoker to around 250°F. Cook ribs for 2–2.5 hours until they bend slightly when picked up from the middle (but don’t fall apart).
Foil wrap finish (optional):
- Lay out a long piece of foil. Add butter, a sprinkle of brown sugar, and a drizzle of honey. Place ribs meat-side down, wrap tightly, and return to the grill meat-side up for 20–30 minutes.
Rest & slice:
- Let ribs rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Sauce is optional—these ribs are flavorful enough to stand alone.
Recipe Note
🔥 Notes:
For small grills, stack the ribs and rotate them during cooking. A 22” charcoal Weber can hold up to 4 racks when stacked.
Skip the sauce unless you really want it. The seasoning does the work here.
