Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork ribs
- 2 tablespoons Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Coconut sugar
- 1 cup Coconut aminos
- 6 ounces Tomato paste
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, and coconut sugar to create a dry rub.
Pat the ribs dry with paper towels. Generously rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, covering both sides.
Wrap the ribs tightly in foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours.
While the ribs are baking, make the BBQ sauce. In a saucepan, combine coconut aminos, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, honey, smoked paprika, minced garlic, and ground cloves. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until well combined and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
After 2.5 hours, remove the ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap them. Increase the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
Brush a generous amount of BBQ sauce all over the ribs, then return them to the oven, uncovered, for an additional 30 minutes.
Optional: For a caramelized finish, place the ribs under the broiler for 2-4 minutes, carefully watching to avoid burning.
Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes before cutting into portions.
Serve the ribs with additional BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
