Ingredients
- 2 racks Pork ribs
- 2 tablespoons Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Sugar-free barbecue sauce
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs to ensure tenderness.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Step 4
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the racks of ribs, making sure to cover all sides.
Step 5
Brush the ribs lightly with olive oil, which will help the rub adhere and promote a nice crust.
Step 6
Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil, creating a sealed packet. Place them on a baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bones.
Step 8
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
Step 9
Unwrap the ribs and generously brush them with sugar-free barbecue sauce.
Step 10
Place the ribs on the grill, bone-side down, and cook for about 25-30 minutes.
Step 11
During grilling, turn the ribs occasionally and baste with more barbecue sauce every 10 minutes to build a flavorful glaze.
Step 12
Remove the ribs from the grill once the glaze is sticky and slightly caramelized.
Step 13
Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing between the bones to serve.
Step 14
Enjoy your keto-friendly barbecued ribs with your favorite low-carb side dishes.
