Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless pork ribs
• 0.5 cups maple syrup
• 0.5 cups ketchup
• 0.25 cups soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Pat the boneless pork ribs dry with paper towels to ensure they brown properly.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. This step adds flavor to the ribs.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, ketchup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until smooth.

Step 4

Place the seared ribs in the slow cooker in an even layer.

Step 5

Pour the maple syrup mixture evenly over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.

Step 6

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the ribs are tender and fully cooked.

Step 7

Once done, carefully remove the ribs using tongs as they will be very tender and prone to breaking apart. Place them on a serving platter.

Step 8

Optional: If you prefer a thicker sauce, transfer the cooking liquid to a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until reduced. Spoon the sauce over the ribs before serving or serve it on the side.

Step 9

Serve the Maple Slow Cooker Boneless Ribs with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables.
