Ingredients
- 2 racks Baby back ribs
- 2 tablespoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 cup Low carb BBQ sauce
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Step 2
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by sliding a knife under it and lifting up gently. Use a paper towel to grip and pull off the membrane completely.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create a dry rub.
Step 4
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs, making sure to coat them thoroughly.
Step 5
Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone easily.
Step 7
Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully open the foil.
Step 8
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 9
Brush a generous amount of the low carb BBQ sauce onto the ribs.
Step 10
Grill the ribs for about 5 to 7 minutes per side, basting with additional BBQ sauce and turning them carefully to avoid burning.
Step 11
Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
