    Keto Barbecue Dry Rub Ribs

    Ingredient Notes

    • Baby back ribs: For these keto barbecue dry rub ribs, I like to use baby back ribs because they just get so juicy and tender when cooked properly. But you can also use pork spare ribs. (More low carb pork recipes)
    • Olive oil: Before seasoning the ribs, I brush them with olive oil to help the seasoning stay on and to help make a nice bark.
    • Barbecue Dry Rub Mix: This is where all the flavor lives. You can really use any dry rub mix you prefer, but I love to make my own. There is nothing quite like a homemade rub. (Try my Barbecue Dry Rub Recipe)

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is silver skin?

    Silver skin is a thin membrane of connective tissue that is commonly found on meats. On ribs, it runs along the underside, covering the bones.

    What is the difference between baby back ribs and spare ribs?

    Baby back ribs come from the portion of the ribs that are connected to the backbone. They are smaller and more curved. They typically have less fat. Spare ribs are run along the breast bone and are larger and flatter, have more meat, and contain more fat.

    How can I make these ribs on the grill?

    The key to cooking ribs via any method is cooking them low and slow. On a propane grill, cook them for 3 to 4 hours at about 250°F.

    Description

    These Keto Barbecue Dry Rub Ribs are incredibly juicy and fall-apart tender. They are seasoned with a homemade barbecue dry rub mix, and then baked to perfection.


    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 2 pounds pork baby back ribs (I get my meat here)
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 batch Barbecue Dry Rub (get the recipe here)

    Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.

    2. Remove the thin membrane from the back, or concave side, of the ribs. Start by slicing into the membrane with a sharp knife, then pull the skin away from the ribs. Place the ribs on the lined baking sheet.

    3. Brush the olive oil evenly over the ribs. Pour the dry rub over the ribs and work it evenly onto both sides.

    4. Bake until the ribs are tender and juicy on the inside and nice and crispy on the outside, about 2 ½ hours. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
