Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks Baby back ribs
- 2 tablespoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 cup Low carb BBQ sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by sliding a knife under it and lifting up gently. Use a paper towel to grip and pull off the membrane completely.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create a dry rub.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs, making sure to coat them thoroughly.
Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone easily.
Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully open the foil.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Brush a generous amount of the low carb BBQ sauce onto the ribs.
Grill the ribs for about 5 to 7 minutes per side, basting with additional BBQ sauce and turning them carefully to avoid burning.
Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
