INGREDIENTS

7.5 oz baby back ribs

0.5 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp tomato paste

1 tsp maple syrup

2 tsp apple cider vinegar

1 cup shredded cabbage

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

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

• 3

  Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs, then wrap them tightly in parchment paper followed by a layer of foil.

• 4

  Place the wrapped ribs on the baking sheet and roast for 2 hours until the meat is tender and pulling away from the bone.

• 5

  While the ribs roast, whisk together the tomato paste, maple syrup, and 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar to create a clean BBQ glaze.

• 6

  In a separate bowl, toss the shredded cabbage with the remaining 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar and the extra virgin olive oil.

• 7

  Remove the ribs from the oven, unwrap them carefully, brush with the BBQ glaze, and broil for 3-5 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and caramelized.

• 8

  Serve the smoky ribs alongside the fresh, tangy apple cider slaw for a balanced, clean-eating meal.
