INGREDIENTS

6 oz Baby back ribs (bone-in)

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

0.5 tbsp Maple syrup

1 tbsp Tomato paste

2 cups Green beans

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

• 2

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

• 3

  Pat the baby back ribs dry with a paper towel and coat both sides evenly with the dry rub mixture.

• 4

  Wrap the seasoned ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on the baking sheet; bake for 2 hours until the meat is tender.

• 5

  While the ribs bake, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and tomato paste in a small saucepan over low heat until thickened into a glaze.

• 6

  Carefully remove the ribs from the oven and increase the heat to a high broil.

• 7

  Unwrap the ribs, brush the top generously with the maple-tomato glaze, and broil for 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and caramelized.

• 8

  While the ribs rest for a few minutes, steam the green beans in a steamer basket for 5 to 7 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.

• 9

  Serve the sticky ribs alongside the steamed green beans for a balanced, clean-eating dinner.
