Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 pounds pork spareribs
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Begin by trimming any excess fat from the pork spareribs and removing the membrane from the back of the ribs if it is still intact.
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, sea salt, ground cumin, ground mustard, and cayenne pepper.
Coat the spareribs with olive oil to help the spice rub adhere. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs, ensuring they are well covered. Use your hands to rub the spices into the meat.
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Prepare wood chips for smoking; hickory or applewood work well for spareribs.
Once the smoker reaches the desired temperature, place the spareribs bone side down directly on the smoker grates.
Smoke the ribs for about 5 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature of 225°F. Spritz the ribs with water or apple cider vinegar every hour to keep them moist.
Check the ribs for doneness around the 4-hour mark. They should be tender and pull away from the bones easily.
Remove the ribs from the smoker, let them rest for about 10 minutes, then slice between the bones and serve immediately with your choice of keto-friendly barbecue sauce.
