Ingredients

• 3 pounds pork spareribs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup unsweetened ketchup
• 2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).

Step 2

Remove the membrane from the back side of the ribs for a more tender texture.

Step 3

Create a dry rub by combining salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, chili powder, and smoked paprika in a small bowl.

Step 4

Pat the ribs dry with paper towels and then rub the olive oil all over them.

Step 5

Generously coat the ribs with the dry rub, pressing it into the meat to ensure it adheres well.

Step 6

Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until the meat is tender and can be easily pulled away from the bone.

Step 8

While the ribs are cooking, prepare the BBQ sauce by mixing together the unsweetened ketchup, apple cider vinegar, monk fruit sweetener, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke in a saucepan over medium heat. Allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened.

Step 9

Once the ribs are done, remove them from the oven and carefully unwrap the foil.

Step 10

Turn on the broiler. Brush the ribs with the homemade BBQ sauce generously.

Step 11

Broil the ribs for 5-7 minutes until the sauce caramelizes and the edges begin to char slightly.

Step 12

Remove the ribs from the oven, let them rest for a few minutes, slice between the bones, and serve warm with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
