This recipe is for the oven, but no reason you couldn't do the same in a grill. Looked like a nice, different way to season ribs.
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon fennel seeds, ground
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
4 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
2 2½- to 3-pound racks St. Louis–style pork spareribs
Heat the oven to 325°F with a rack in the middle position. Set a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, the sugar, ground fennel, pepper flakes, garlic and 4 teaspoons of rosemary.
Rub the mixture between your fingertips until well combined and the rosemary is fragrant. Sprinkle evenly over both sides of the racks of ribs, then thoroughly rub it in.
Place the ribs meaty side up on the prepared baking sheet. Transfer to the oven, then pour 3 cups water into the baking sheet.
Bake until well browned and a skewer inserted between the bones meets no resistance, 2 to 2½ hours.
Transfer the rib racks to a cutting board and let rest for 20 minutes. Cut the ribs between the bones and transfer to a platter.
