Start by preparing the ribs. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to help the spices penetrate the meat more effectively.
In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, salt, and ground cumin.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the ribs, covering all sides generously.
In a separate bowl, mix the low carb BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and liquid smoke until well combined.
Place the seasoned ribs in the slow cooker. Pour half of the BBQ sauce mixture over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.
Cover the slow cooker and set it to low. Cook the ribs for 7 to 8 hours until they are tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bones.
Once cooked, preheat your oven's broiler.
Transfer the ribs carefully to a baking sheet lined with foil. Brush the remaining BBQ sauce mixture over the top of the ribs.
Broil the ribs for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce caramelizes and develops a slight char, being careful not to burn them.
Allow the ribs to rest for a few minutes before cutting between the bones with a sharp knife.
Serve the ribs hot with your choice of low carb sides, and enjoy!
