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

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp maple syrup

1 tsp coconut aminos

1 cup green beans

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Pat the baby back ribs dry with a paper towel and remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs if necessary.

• 3

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

• 4

  Rub the spice blend evenly over both sides of the ribs, then wrap the ribs tightly in the foil.

• 5

  Place the foil packet on the baking sheet and roast for 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and starting to pull away from the bone.

• 6

  While the ribs roast, whisk together the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and coconut aminos in a small saucepan over low heat until thickened slightly.

• 7

  Carefully open the foil packet, brush the ribs generously with the BBQ sauce, and set the oven to broil.

• 8

  Broil the ribs for 3-5 minutes until the sauce is bubbly, charred in spots, and sticky.

• 9

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

• 10

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