With only 15 minutes of prep and a slow, steady cook time, this recipe results in irresistibly smoky, caramelized ribs that are packed with flavor while staying keto-friendly. Serve them hot and watch them disappear—whether it’s a casual backyard barbecue or a weekday indulgence, these ribs are your new go-to for guilt-free grilling.
Clean the pork ribs and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, dried thyme, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper.
Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs.
Place the ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or in a covered dish. Add olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and lemon juice.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.
Preheat the grill to medium heat (about 300°F or 150°C).
Remove the ribs from the marinade and place them on the grill. Cook slowly, covered, for about 2 hours, turning occasionally.
During the last 15 minutes of cooking, brush the ribs with the sugar-free barbecue sauce.
Continue grilling the ribs until they are tender and have a nice glaze from the barbecue sauce.
Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve hot and enjoy!
