Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks Pork baby back ribs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Onion powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 cup Sugar-free BBQ sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
Rinse and pat dry the ribs with paper towels. Remove the membrane from the back of each rack of ribs by using a small knife to lift the edge and pulling it off with a piece of paper towel.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Rub the ribs with olive oil on both sides, then evenly coat with the spice mix, pressing it into the meat.
Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 2.5 hours, until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone easily.
Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully open the foil. Brush the ribs liberally with sugar-free BBQ sauce.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Place the ribs on the grill and cook for another 10-15 minutes, brushing with additional BBQ sauce and turning as necessary until caramelized.
Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
