Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork ribs
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by removing the membrane from the back of the pork ribs. Use a sharp knife to lift a corner of the membrane, then grab with a paper towel and pull away from the bones.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, sea salt, coconut sugar, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and chili powder.
Step 3
Rub the olive oil over both sides of the ribs to help the spice mixture adhere.
Step 4
Generously coat the ribs with the spice mix, patting it onto the surface to ensure an even coverage.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 300°F (150°C).
Step 6
Place the ribs on the grill, bone side down, and cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, using indirect heat. Adjust the grill’s heat as necessary to maintain consistent temperature.
Step 7
Check the ribs after 1.5 hours. They are done when the meat is tender and can be pulled apart easily.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Step 9
Slice the ribs between the bones to serve, and enjoy your delicious Paleo Grilled Pork Ribs!
