PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Coat the pork ribs evenly with the spice mixture, pressing it into the meat to ensure the flavors penetrate.

• 3

  Place the seasoned ribs into the slow cooker and pour the unsweetened apple juice into the bottom to provide moisture.

• 4

  Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours until the meat is tender and begins to pull away from the bone.

• 5

  Carefully remove the ribs, brush them with the sugar-free BBQ sauce, and broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes until the glaze is bubbly.

• 6

  In a medium bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and celery seed, then toss with the shredded cabbage.

  Serve the hot, glazed ribs alongside the chilled slaw for a balanced and satisfying clean-eating meal.
