Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks Pork ribs
- 2 tablespoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Cumin
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).
Prepare the ribs by removing the silver skin from the back. Use a knife to gently lift and loosen one end, then use a paper towel to grab and pull it off the rack.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the ribs with olive oil on both sides to help the spice blend adhere.
Generously rub the spice mix all over the ribs, pressing it into the meat.
Place the ribs in the smoker, bone-side down, and smoke for 3 hours. Use wood chips like hickory or apple for a nice smoke flavor.
After 3 hours, wrap the ribs in aluminum foil to help tenderize. Before sealing, splash a bit of water or beef broth inside to create steam.
Return the wrapped ribs to the smoker and continue cooking for an additional 2 hours.
Remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest for about 10 minutes before unwrapping.
Slice the ribs between the bones and serve hot. Enjoy your keto-friendly smoked pork ribs!
