Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork spareribs
- 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
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create the spice rub.
Place the pork spareribs on a clean work surface or cutting board. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Rub both sides of the ribs with olive oil. This will help the spice rub adhere and ensure the ribs remain moist.
Evenly distribute the spice rub all over both sides of the ribs, pressing it into the meat.
Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil, creating a sealed packet. Place the foil-wrapped ribs on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 2 1/2 hours or until the ribs are tender.
When the ribs are nearly done, preheat the grill or a broiler on high heat.
Carefully remove the ribs from the oven and discard the foil.
Brush both sides of the ribs generously with the low-carb BBQ sauce.
Place the ribs on the grill or under the broiler. Cook for about 5-10 minutes or until the sauce is caramelized and slightly charred, flipping halfway through.
Remove ribs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
