Ingredients
- 2 racks baby back pork ribs
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 cup tomato paste
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
Step 2
Prepare the pork ribs by removing the membrane from the back of each rack.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, sea salt, and cayenne pepper.
Step 4
Rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 5
Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil, cover with another sheet of foil, and seal the edges to create a packet.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until the ribs are tender.
Step 7
While the ribs are cooking, make the BBQ sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut aminos, honey, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, mustard powder, and avocado oil.
Step 8
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 9
Once the ribs are done, remove them from the oven and discard the top foil.
Step 10
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 11
Brush the BBQ sauce generously over the ribs.
Step 12
Grill the ribs for about 5-10 minutes on each side, brushing more sauce as needed, until they have a nice caramelized finish.
Step 13
Remove from the grill, let them rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
