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

2 tbsp Sugar-free BBQ sauce

1 tsp Apple cider vinegar

1.5 cup Broccoli florets

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs by lifting a corner with a knife and pulling it off firmly to ensure a tender bite.

• 3

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

• 4

  Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs, pressing the seasoning into the meat for maximum flavor.

• 5

  Wrap the ribs tightly in the foil and bake for 2 to 2.5 hours until the meat is tender and starting to pull away from the bone.

• 6

  Carefully open the foil and brush the ribs with a mixture of the sugar-free BBQ sauce and apple cider vinegar.

• 7

  Set the oven to broil and cook the ribs uncovered for 3-5 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and beautifully caramelized.

• 8

  Steam the broccoli florets until bright green and tender-crisp, then serve them alongside the ribs for a balanced, clean-eating meal.
