INGREDIENTS

6.4 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

2 tbsp sugar-free BBQ sauce

1.5 cup broccoli florets

0.25 tsp avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 300°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Remove the silver skin membrane from the back of the ribs using a paper towel for a better grip to ensure maximum tenderness.

• 3

  In a small bowl, whisk together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Rub the spice blend thoroughly into both sides of the ribs, pressing the seasoning into the meat.

• 5

  Wrap the ribs tightly in a double layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil, place on the baking sheet, and bake for 2.5 hours until the meat is tender.

• 6

  Carefully open the foil packet, brush the top of the ribs generously with the sugar-free BBQ sauce, and increase the oven temperature to 400°F.

• 7

  On a separate small baking sheet, toss the broccoli florets with avocado oil and a pinch of salt.

• 8

  Place both the uncovered ribs and the broccoli in the oven for 15 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the broccoli is lightly charred.

• 9

  Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes before slicing between the bones and serving with the roasted broccoli.
