Ingredients
- 2 racks Pork baby back ribs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Onion powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 cup Sugar-free BBQ sauce
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
Step 2
Rinse and pat dry the ribs with paper towels. Remove the membrane from the back of each rack of ribs by using a small knife to lift the edge and pulling it off with a piece of paper towel.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Step 4
Rub the ribs with olive oil on both sides, then evenly coat with the spice mix, pressing it into the meat.
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 about 2.5 hours, 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. Brush the ribs liberally with sugar-free BBQ sauce.
Step 8
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 9
Place the ribs on the grill and cook for another 10-15 minutes, brushing with additional BBQ sauce and turning as necessary until caramelized.
Step 10
Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
