The best dry rub for ribs that gives your ribs a smoky flavor without the grill. The added bonus is that you can make these ribs in your oven!

We don’t have a grill. No joke, seriously, every grill we have ever owned has turned into a rust pit after winter so when it comes to whipping up a rack of dry rub pork spare ribs, I have to turn to the oven.

I have two dietary issues to deal with also. Mr. Bejelly does not do well with cooked tomato products and he will have a bought of heartburn if he eats them.

We also are really trying to phase out all sugar in our diet as this helps reduce and often eliminate any bouts of heartburn.

I have yet to find a barbecue sauce that is tomato free and sugar-free so I invented the following dry rub for ribs.

I did swab it down in my Peach BBQ Sauce so be sure to check it out.

How to Make This best dry rub for ribs Recipe:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Throw all the ingredients into a bowl and mix with a spoon until well blended.

Lightly apply this rub to both sides of your rack until it is well coated. There will be some rub left over which I typically don’t apply to the ribs. You can if you would like but it is a strong flavor.

Next take two sheets of aluminum foil and sandwich the ribs Place them in your oven to bake for 3 – 3.25 hours.

The meat should be falling off the bone by the time they are done.
