Ingredients
- 1.1kg rack spare ribs 38 oz
Sugar-free BBQ Sauce
- ½ cup crushed tomatoes
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp liquid smoke
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- ¼ tsp stevia powder
Instructions
- Mince the garlic cloves. In a bowl combine the BBQ sauce ingredients and mix well.
- Place the rack of ribs into a slow cooker and pour the BBQ sauce all over.
- Put the slow cooker on low and cook for 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours.
- Once cooked, preheat the oven to 210C/410F. Carefully take out the rack of ribs from the slow cooker (the bones will fall off easily) and place on a baking tray. Spoon half of the BBQ sauce from the slow cooker and pour over the ribs.
- Bake in the oven for an additional 10 minutes to get that crispy flavourful skin.
- Take the remainder of the BBQ sauce and put it in a bowl. You can use it later to dip the ribs in.
- Cut the ribs up and they are ready to serve!!
Notes
If you'd like to have a lower calorie version of these ribs, use baby back ribs. We only have spare ribs in Japan as I've never seen baby back ones so that's why I used them.
For paleo, use a paleo approved Worcestershire sauce or switch to coconut aminos.
