Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork ribs
- 2 tablespoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 cup Low-carb barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove the membrane from the back of the pork ribs for a more tender bite. To do this, slide a knife under the membrane to loosen it, then pull it off using your fingers or a paper towel.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs, ensuring all the meat is coated.
Drizzle the olive oil over the ribs and rub it in to help the spices adhere to the meat.
Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil. Place them on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone easily.
Carefully remove ribs from the oven and unwrap them. Discard any juices that have collected in the foil.
Increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Brush the ribs with the low-carb barbecue sauce on both sides.
Place the ribs, uncovered, back in the oven for an additional 20-30 minutes to let the sauce caramelize.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve the ribs with additional low-carb barbecue sauce on the side, if desired.
