Steps:
- Begin by removing the membrane on the back of the ribs

EASY FALL OFF THE BONE OVEN-BAKED RIBS
Low and slow cooking make these oven-baked ribs fall off the bone tender. Once baked, we like to add our sweet and spicy barbecue sauce to the ribs, but use whatever you love. For the most tender ribs, we remove the thin membrane covering the back of the rack. Depending on where you have purchased ribs, this may already be done for you. If not, instructions are in the notes section below. FAQ: We call for baby back ribs in the recipe, but other types of ribs (spareribs, country-style, St. Louis-style) will work with this recipe. Cook time should be similar, we recommend that you check on the ribs while they cook to see how they are progressing. FAQ: Doubling or tripling the recipe below should not change the recipe method or bake time. You might need to use two pans for baking.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 275° Fahrenheit (135C).
- If the ribs still have the thin membrane covering the back of the rack, remove it. See how in the notes section below.
- Season both sides of the ribs with a generous amount of salt and pepper. If you are using a spice rub, add season the ribs with it now. Place the ribs, meat-side up, into a large roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet. (It may be necessary to cut the ribs in half for them to fit into the pan).
- Cover the pan or baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil, and then bake until the meat falls easily from the bones, 2 ½ to 3 ½ hours. We like to check the ribs after 2 hours to see how they are progressing. The ribs are done when the meat is cooked through and tender.
- While the ribs bake, make the barbecue sauce. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the cumin and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Add the ketchup, hot chili sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine, season with salt then cook for 2 minutes. Set aside in preparation for the ribs to finish roasting.
- Remove the ribs from the oven, discard the aluminum foil and generously brush both sides with barbecue sauce.
- Optional: Move an oven rack near the top of the oven. Turn broiler to high and broil the ribs for 3-4 minutes, just until the barbecue sauce begins to caramelize. (Keep a close eye on the ribs while they broil so the sauce does not burn.)
- Store baked ribs, in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze, wrapped in foil or freezer paper and in an airtight container, for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator, and then reheat.
- To reheat the ribs, wrap in foil or parchment paper and place into a 300°F oven until warmed through, about 30 minutes. If you have some leftover, slather some extra sauce that's been warmed over the ribs before serving.

Steps:
- Mix spices together and apply rub thoroughly over the three racks of ribs on individual large sheets of aluminum foil. Rub both sides of each rack and then tightly seal each rack within the foil. Put on a cookie sheet or two and bake in a preheated 225 degree over for 4 to 5 hours depending how fall of the bone you would like your ribs. When done cooking carefully drain the liquid from the ribs and if you are going to use the sauce you will want ot put them back in oven under a preheated broiler, with foil open for about ten minutes to dry the outside a little. This last procedure can also be done on an open barbeque without using foil. Carefully move ribs, as they will be very tender. SAUCE Put olive oil in heated saucepan add onions and saute over medium heat until soft, but do not brown. Add garlic and stir for 2 to 3 minutes more. Add rest of ingredients and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. Taste and add lemon juice or more sugar to suit your taste if needed. If you are using the sauce, then you remove the ribs from the oven and glaze the top of the ribs with the sauce. Warm uncovered on grill or under broiler for 15 to 20 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality baby back ribs: Look for ribs that are meaty and have good marbling.
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs: This will help the ribs cook more evenly and become more tender.
- Season the ribs generously with a flavorful rub: This will help to enhance the flavor of the ribs.
- Use a smoker or grill to cook the ribs: This will give the ribs a smoky flavor and help them to fall off the bone.
- Cook the ribs until they are fall-off-the-bone tender: This will take about 2-3 hours, depending on the thickness of the ribs.
- Let the ribs rest before serving: This will help the ribs to retain their juices and flavor.
