Ingredients

• 2 racks Pork ribs
• 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Sugar-free ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar substitute (erythritol)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the pork ribs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs if it is still intact.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, chili powder, and cayenne pepper.

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture evenly over both racks of ribs, pressing it into the meat. Drizzle the ribs with olive oil and rub it in to help adhere the spices.

Step 4

Place the ribs in a slow cooker, standing them upright on their bones and pressing them against the side of the cooker.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar-free ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, and brown sugar substitute until smooth.

Step 6

Pour the barbecue sauce over the ribs, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 7

Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Cook the ribs for 8 hours or until they are tender and falling off the bone.

Step 8

Once cooked, carefully remove the ribs from the slow cooker with tongs, as they will be very tender.

Step 9

Optional: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the ribs with additional barbecue sauce and grill for 5 minutes on each side to caramelize the sauce and add a smoky flavor.

Step 10

Serve the ribs hot, garnished with your favorite low-carb sides or a fresh salad.
