INGREDIENTS

12 oz baby back pork 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 cup fresh green beans

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.

• 2

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

• 3

  Pat the ribs dry with a paper towel and remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs if necessary. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.

• 4

  Wrap the ribs tightly in the foil, ensuring the seam is on top to prevent juices from leaking, and bake for 2.5 hours until the meat is tender.

• 5

  Carefully open the foil and brush the top of the ribs with the sugar-free BBQ sauce. Turn the oven to broil and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and slightly charred.

• 6

  While the ribs rest, trim the ends of the green beans and sauté them in a skillet with the olive oil over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.

• 7

  Slice the ribs between the bones and serve immediately alongside the sautéed green beans.
