INGREDIENTS

6 oz baby back pork 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

2 tbsp sugar-free BBQ sauce

1 cup shredded green cabbage

0.25 cup shredded carrots

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

0 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 tsp dijon mustard

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your smoker to 225°F using apple or hickory wood for a clean, smoky flavor profile.

• 2

  Prepare the ribs by removing the thin membrane from the back of the rack and patting 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 blend generously over all sides of the ribs, pressing it firmly into the meat to ensure it sticks.

• 5

  Place the ribs in the smoker and cook for approximately 3 to 4 hours until the meat is tender and begins to pull away from the bone.

• 6

  During the final 30 minutes of smoking, brush the sugar-free BBQ sauce over the ribs to create a tacky, flavorful glaze.

• 7

  While the ribs finish, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and Dijon mustard in a medium bowl.

• 8

  Toss the shredded cabbage and carrots with the dressing until well coated, then serve immediately alongside the hot ribs.
