• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Rinse the ribs under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs by sliding a knife under the skin and pulling it away.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Step 5

Rub the spice mixture all over both sides of the ribs.

Step 6

Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil.

Step 7

Place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 2.5 hours or until tender.

Step 8

While the ribs are cooking, prepare the barbecue sauce by whisking together coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, and honey in a saucepan over medium heat.

Step 9

Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, until slightly thickened.

Step 10

Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap them from the foil.

Step 11

Preheat your grill or oven broiler on high heat.

Step 12

Brush a generous amount of the barbecue sauce over both sides of the ribs.

Step 13

Place the ribs on the grill or under the broiler for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the sauce is caramelized and bubbly.

Step 14

Remove the ribs from the grill, let them rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
