Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork ribs
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Begin by removing the membrane from the back of the pork ribs. Use a sharp knife to lift a corner of the membrane, then grab with a paper towel and pull away from the bones.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, sea salt, coconut sugar, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and chili powder.
Rub the olive oil over both sides of the ribs to help the spice mixture adhere.
Generously coat the ribs with the spice mix, patting it onto the surface to ensure an even coverage.
Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 300°F (150°C).
Place the ribs on the grill, bone side down, and cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, using indirect heat. Adjust the grill’s heat as necessary to maintain consistent temperature.
Check the ribs after 1.5 hours. They are done when the meat is tender and can be pulled apart easily.
Once cooked, remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Slice the ribs between the bones to serve, and enjoy your delicious Paleo Grilled Pork Ribs!
