INGREDIENTS

5.5 oz baby back ribs

1 tsp smoked paprika

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1.5 tbsp tomato paste

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp coconut aminos

0.25 tsp liquid smoke

1 tsp maple syrup

1.5 cup green beans

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

• 2

  In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper to create the dry rub.

• 3

  Pat the baby back ribs dry with a paper towel and evenly coat all sides with the dry rub mixture.

• 4

  Wrap the seasoned ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on the baking sheet.

• 5

  Bake the ribs for approximately 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and begins to pull away from the bone.

• 6

  While the ribs bake, whisk together the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, liquid smoke, and maple syrup in a small saucepan over low heat for 5 minutes until thickened.

• 7

  Carefully remove the ribs from the oven, open the foil, and brush the homemade BBQ glaze generously over the top of the meat.

• 8

  Adjust the oven to the broil setting and place the glazed ribs back inside for 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and slightly charred.

• 9

  Steam the green beans for 5 to 7 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.

• 10

  Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving alongside the steamed green beans.
