Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork baby back ribs
- 2 tablespoons Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 cup Low carb BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the ribs. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to help the spices penetrate the meat more effectively.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, and ground cumin.
Step 3
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the ribs, covering all sides generously.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, mix the low carb BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and liquid smoke until well combined.
Step 5
Place the seasoned ribs in the slow cooker. Pour half of the BBQ sauce mixture over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 6
Cover the slow cooker and set it to low. Cook the ribs for 7 to 8 hours until they are tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bones.
Step 7
Once cooked, preheat your oven's broiler.
Step 8
Transfer the ribs carefully to a baking sheet lined with foil. Brush the remaining BBQ sauce mixture over the top of the ribs.
Step 9
Broil the ribs for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce caramelizes and develops a slight char, being careful not to burn them.
Step 10
Allow the ribs to rest for a few minutes before cutting between the bones with a sharp knife.
Step 11
Serve the ribs hot with your choice of low carb sides, and enjoy!
