For the ribs:

2 racks pork spare ribs, approx 2.5 lbs.

2 Tbsp chili powder

2 tsp sea salt

½ tsp black pepper

For the sauce:

1 Tbsp butter

1 small onion, grated

Preheat oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl combine chili powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle mixture generously on both sides of ribs.
Place ribs on heavy duty aluminum foil and wrap tightly. Place on rimmed baking sheet. Cook for 1½ hours.
