Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Pork spare ribs
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol or any keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Low-carb BBQ sauce
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and erythritol to form a dry rub.
Remove the membrane from the back of the pork spare ribs for more tender results. Pat ribs dry with paper towels.
Rub the dry seasoning mix thoroughly over both sides of the ribs to ensure even coverage.
Place the ribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil and a splash of apple cider vinegar.
Wrap the ribs tightly in the foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours. This slow baking process will make your ribs tender and juicy.
After 2.5 hours, remove the ribs from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
Carefully open the foil (beware of hot steam) and brush the ribs with the low-carb BBQ sauce. If desired, add liquid smoke for an extra smoky flavor.
Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for another 30 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize and form a sticky glaze.
Remove from the oven and let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing into individual portions.
Serve warm and enjoy your Keto Smoky BBQ Spare Ribs!
