• Combine the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, mustard powder, black pepper, and salt in a bowl, mixing well with a fork
• Pat dry the rack of baby back ribs. Coat every side with the dry rub, distributing it evenly and thoroughly
• Wrap the foil/parchment paper around the rack and seal it in well
• Roast the ribs on the middle rack for 2 ½ hours
• Remove the ribs from the oven and unwrap them carefully
• Combine 4 tbsp of warm balsamic glaze with 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil and with a brush coat every side of the rack generously
• Return to the middle rack in the oven uncovered and roast for an additional 25-30 minutes
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves. Carve, serve, and dig in!

BALSAMIC GLAZE

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, add 1 cup balsamic vinegar and ¼ cup coconut sugar. Once it begins to bubble, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer until reduced by half, about 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on it, so it won't burn or over-reduce
• Remove from the heat and set aside to cool
