Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (163Β°C).
Rinse and pat dry the pork ribs with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the rib slabs.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Brown the ribs in batches if necessary, cooking each batch for about 3-4 minutes per side until nicely browned. Remove and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic to the pot, sautΓ©ing until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Deglaze the pot with chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.
Stir in apple cider vinegar and soy sauce into the broth.
Return the ribs to the pot, positioning them meaty side up. Ensure they're partly submerged in the liquid.
Add fresh thyme sprigs on top of the ribs.
Cover the pot with a lid or tightly with aluminum foil, and transfer to the preheated oven.
Bake for approximately 2.5 hours, or until the ribs are very tender and nearly falling off the bone.
Carefully remove the pot from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Before serving, sprinkle chopped parsley over the ribs for garnish.
Serve warm with your choice of keto-friendly sides, such as cauliflower mash or roasted vegetables.
