INGREDIENTS

6 oz pork 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 apple cider vinegar

2 tbsp sugar-free BBQ sauce

1 cup fresh green beans

0 tsp extra virgin olive oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your smoker or oven to 250°F (120°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, whisk together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Apply the spice rub generously to both sides of the ribs, pressing it into the meat to ensure it sticks.

• 5

  Place the ribs in the smoker or on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and cook for approximately 3 hours.

• 6

  In a small ramekin, stir together the sugar-free BBQ sauce and apple cider vinegar to create a thin glaze.

• 7

  Brush the glaze onto the ribs during the final 30 minutes of cooking until they are tender and the sauce is tacky.

• 8

  While the ribs rest for 10 minutes, sauté the green beans in olive oil over medium heat until they are bright green and crisp-tender.

• 9

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