Begin by removing the silverskin from the back of the pork ribs. This ensures your ribs will be tender and flavorful.
In a bowl, mix together the low-sodium soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground black pepper, salt, olive oil, and liquid smoke to create the marinade.
Place the pork ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the ribs. Ensure the ribs are well-coated.
Refrigerate the marinating ribs for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight for maximum flavor absorption.
Preheat your grill to medium heat, about 300°F (150°C).
Remove the ribs from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels to ensure a nice grill sear.
Place the ribs on the grill, bone side down, and grill for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Keep the grill lid closed as much as possible to maintain consistent heat.
Baste occasionally with remaining marinade to keep the ribs moist, but be mindful to do this towards the end of cooking to avoid burning the marinade.
Check for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. It should read 145°F (63°C).
Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the ribs warm with your favorite low-fat sides and enjoy this healthier take on BBQ ribs.
