INGREDIENTS

6 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 tbsp tomato paste

0 tsp maple syrup

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

2 tbsp unsweetened apple sauce

1 cup bell peppers

0 tsp olive oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

• 2

  Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs and pat the meat dry with paper towels.

• 3

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

• 4

  Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.

• 5

  Wrap the ribs tightly in a double layer of aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 2 hours until the meat is tender and pulling away from the bone.

• 6

  While the ribs bake, whisk together the tomato paste, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and apple sauce in a small saucepan over low heat for 5 minutes to create the glaze.

• 7

  Toss the sliced bell peppers with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast them on a separate tray at 400°F during the last 15 minutes of the ribs' cooking time.

• 8

  Carefully unwrap the ribs, brush them generously with the prepared BBQ glaze, and broil on high for 3-5 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and slightly charred.

• 9

  Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving alongside the roasted peppers.
