Low Carb Country Style Pork Ribs

Simple, perfectly seasoned & tasty baked ribs!

Ingredients:
aluminum foil
2 1/2 pounds country style pork ribs
1 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoons onion powder
1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan or sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 cup sugar free barbecue sauce (optional)***

Method:
Preheat oven to 350*. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil. Place the ribs on the prepared pan. In a small bowl, stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and paprika.  Sprinkle or rub onto all 4 sides of each rib to thoroughly coat.**
Bake for 15 minutes. Turn the ribs to move a second side to face up and return to the oven for another 15 minutes. Turn the ribs to move a third side to face up and return to the oven for 10 minutes. Turn the ribs to move the fourth side to face up. 

If desired, brush with barbecue sauce and return to the oven for 10 more minutes. Makes 3 servings.

Nutritional info per serving (without barbecue sauce), approximately:
1041 calories ~ 69 grams fat ~ 4 grams net carbs (all of the carbs come from the spices) ~ 101 grams protein

Nutritional info per serving (with barbecue sauce), approximately:
1055 calories ~ 69 grams fat ~ 6.6 grams net carbs ~ 101 grams protein

**I mixed the spices in an empty spice bottle, with a top for sprinkling. (This made the seasoning easy to apply.)

***G Hughes Sugar Free Smokehouse BBQ Sauce is inexpensive and tasty.

Notes: These ribs are flavorful, even without barbecue sauce. Serve with a salad, veggies or coleslaw.  For a simple and delicious coleslaw recipe, try this very simple Blue Cheese & Bacon Coleslaw:

1 cup refrigerated brand of blue cheese salad dressing**

1 cup crumbled blue cheese

5 slices crisp bacon, crumbled

Combine just enough dressing with the cabbage to moisten. Stir in additional blue cheese and bacon, to taste. Makes 5 servings.
