Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks baby back pork ribs
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 cup tomato paste
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
Prepare the pork ribs by removing the membrane from the back of each rack.
In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, sea salt, and cayenne pepper.
Rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil, cover with another sheet of foil, and seal the edges to create a packet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until the ribs are tender.
While the ribs are cooking, make the BBQ sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut aminos, honey, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, mustard powder, and avocado oil.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the ribs are done, remove them from the oven and discard the top foil.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the BBQ sauce generously over the ribs.
Grill the ribs for about 5-10 minutes on each side, brushing more sauce as needed, until they have a nice caramelized finish.
Remove from the grill, let them rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
