Remove the membrane from the back of the pork ribs by using a sharp knife to lift it and then pull it off.
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the rib racks.
Cover the ribs and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat your grill to a low heat, approximately 250°F (120°C).
Once the grill is heated, place the ribs on the grill grid, bone side down, and close the lid.
Cook the ribs for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bones easily.
While the ribs are cooking, prepare the low-carb BBQ sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, low-carb ketchup, liquid smoke, and monk fruit sweetener.
Stir the sauce mixture and allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes to thicken and develop its flavor. Set aside.
In the last 30 minutes of grilling, brush the ribs with the low-carb BBQ sauce.
Continue cooking the ribs, basting occasionally with more sauce.
Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the grilled pork ribs with additional low-carb BBQ sauce on the side.
