Dry Rub for Ribs Recipe
Make the best Dry Rub for Ribs to add amazing flavor to your smoked ribs, baked ribs or any way you want to cook them!
Ingredients
- 2 ½ tablespoons smoked paprika or regular paprika
- 2 ½ tablespoons lemon pepper
- 1 ½ tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon smoked garlic powder or regular garlic powder
- ½ tablespoon ground black pepper
- ½ tablespoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Combine: In a small bowl or jar, add 2 ½ tablespoons smoked paprika, 2 ½ tablespoons lemon pepper, 1 ½ tablespoons kosher salt, 1 tablespoon smoked garlic powder, ½ tablespoon ground black pepper, ½ tablespoon onion powder, and ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
- Serve or Store: Use in your favorite rib recipe: we love making the best grilled ribs or quick oven baked ribs! Or store in an airtight container in the pantry for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Spice: feel free to omit the cayenne pepper, if you aren't into spice at all (although I would recommend adding at least a pinch), or you can amp it up and add in a whole tablespoon of cayenne pepper, if you want! You could also add in a little cumin or chili powder for additional spice - feel free to play around with the flavor!
- Racks of Ribs: this recipe makes enough for approx. two racks of ribs.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months (preferably in a cool/dark place - like a cupboard). I like using a small mason jar!
- Sugar: I am actually not a fan of sugars in my dry rubs (usually), but if you want to add in a little sugar, I would recommend about a tablespoon of coconut sugar (dark brown sugar would work too).
- Smoked Spices: more and more stores carry smoked spices and you can always check on Amazon. Otherwise, the non-smoked version of these spices also work just fine!
- Best Ribs: this recipe for Smoked Baby Back Ribs is my all-time favorite if you can't decide which recipe to make! They are fall-off-the-bone tender (but they don't fall apart on you) and the flavor is just amazing!
