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 Tomato paste

1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar

1 tsp Maple syrup

0.25 tsp Liquid smoke

1.5 cup Broccoli florets

PREPARATION

• 1

  Remove the thin membrane (silver skin) from the back of the ribs using a paper towel for grip.

• 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, pressing it into the meat.

• 4

  Place the ribs in the slow cooker, standing them up against the walls if necessary, and cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until tender.

• 5

  In a small saucepan, whisk together the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and liquid smoke over low heat for 5 minutes to create the BBQ sauce.

• 6

  Carefully remove the ribs from the slow cooker and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet.

• 7

  Brush the ribs generously with the BBQ sauce and broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and slightly charred.

• 8

  While the ribs rest, steam the broccoli florets for 5-6 minutes until tender-crisp and serve alongside the ribs.
