Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork ribs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup low-carb barbecue sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, and dried oregano to create a spice rub.
Pat the pork ribs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Rub olive oil evenly over the pork ribs, then coat them thoroughly with the spice mixture, pressing it into the meat.
Place the seasoned ribs on a large piece of aluminum foil, with the meaty side facing up.
Drizzle apple cider vinegar over the ribs to enhance their tenderness.
Wrap the ribs tightly in the foil, creating a sealed package, and place it on a baking sheet.
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for approximately 2.5 hours, until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
Carefully remove the ribs from the oven, unfold the foil, and brush them generously with the low-carb barbecue sauce.
Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and return the ribs to the oven uncovered for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized and sticky.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing into individual portions.
Serve hot and enjoy your Keto-friendly Costilla de Puerco!
