Most BBQ pork ribs are covered in sticky sweet sauce mostly made up of brown sugar and spices. This obviously does not work for a ketogenic diet. This recipe substitutes the sweet sauce for a tangy mustard-based sauce for a very tasty alternative.

1

  • 2 tbsp
    paprika
  • 2 tbsp
    splenda
  • 1 tbsp
    garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp
    salt
  • ½ tbsp
    black pepper
  • ½ tbsp
    ground ginger
  • ½ tbsp
    onion powder
  • ¼ tbsp
    cayenne pepper
Mix all the dry spices together in a small bowl.

2

  • 2 racks
    pork ribs (about 6 lbs)
  • 2 oz
    dijon mustard
Cut the ribs into 4-rib segments and spread a small dollop of mustard over the top of each one. Dust each with the spice mixture until all used up.

3

Seal each segment of ribs in foil and place on the rack of a roasting pan. Fill the bottom of the pan with water (until just below the rack), and place in the oven to cook at 300°F until the internal temperature of the ribs (directly next to the bone) reaches 160°F (about an hour).

4

Unpack each packet and lay the ribs out on a cooking sheet. Place under a broiler on the highest setting until a crusty brown bark begins to form. This will happen at a different rate for each piece so you'll need to watch them carefully!
