Amazing Sugar-Free Slow Cooked Ribs (Keto!)


I love ribs but it’s nearly impossible to find a dry rub or BBQ sauce with no sugar in it. These ribs are amazing – crunchy & flavourful on the outside, moist and succulent on the inside, and sugar-free!

You need to prepare for these ribs a couple of days in advance. It’s best to have them sit in the rub overnight, if possible, and they need almost a full day to cook.

Ingredients:

  • 5 Tbsp paprika
  • 3 Tbsp chili powder
  • 3 Tbsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp powdered ginger
  • 1 Tbsp black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 Tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 Tbsp ground thyme
  • 2 Tbsp mustard powder
  • 2 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 3 Tbsp onion powder
  • 1 Tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 large racks of pork back ribs

Directions:

  1. Combine all the spices in a sealed container or jar – can be kept indefinitely.
  2. Pat the ribs dry with paper towel. Take a piece of saran wrap that is twice the length of the ribs, and place on the counter. Place one of the racks on the plastic wrap.
  3. Take small handfuls of the rub and rub it into the ribs. Flip over and repeat.
  4. Wrap the ribs up tightly with the plastic wrap, using a second piece of plastic wrap if necessary.
  5. Repeat with the other rack and place the ribs in the fridge overnight.
  6. Preheat oven to 225 degrees.
  7. Remove the ribs from the plastic wrap and place, bone side down on a baking sheet. DO NOT COVER.
Dry rubbed and ready for the oven
  • Place in oven for 6 to 8 hours, until you can twist off a bone on the end easily.
