Recipe Information
This is, without a doubt, the best slow-roasted keto barbecue ribs recipe you will ever find. The ingredients are probably foods you’ve cooked with before and may already have them tucked away in your pantry or kitchen cupboards. The recipe is in three sections: the brine, the ribs and the BBQ sauce. For the brine, you’ll just need water along with some flavorings, such as peppercorns and a bay leaf, whereas for the ribs, you’ll need the meat and some more complex spices such as smoked paprika. The BBQ sauce is actually one we’ve made before with help from Pamela. It’s a special keto diet sauce and can be found here: Keto BBQ Sauce.
This recipe takes a little time to make and so is perfect if you enjoy relaxing over the weekend with this style of cooking. Generally, it takes just under 3 hours, but 2 hours 30 minutes is cooking time. Once you’ve finished, the result is truly so delicious, you’ll probably make this a weekend staple.
Nutritional Information
You might have noticed the calories in this recipe are a little high, coming in at 736 cals, so it’s definitely not for you if you’re following a calorie-controlled diet. But for us keto lovers, it’s perfect. It contains basically no carbohydrates, with these only coming in at 4 grams. But, wow. At 46 grams of protein, we are NOT going to complain. That quantity of protein is absolute keto heaven! There’s also a good quantity of fat too, coming in at 58 grams. What more could you want?!?
So why not try cooking these fabulous ribs with the delicious BBQ sauce this weekend? It’s the perfect comfort meal to help you wind down and we are so grateful to Pamela Ellgen who has kindly let us share this recipe. We honestly wish her all the success in the world with her brand new cookbook! Remember, make sure you check it out today! You’ll never be stuck for keto recipe inspiration again!
Sheet Pan Ketogenic: 150 One-Tray Recipes for Quick and Easy, Low-Carb Meals and Hassle-free Cleanup
I usually make ribs on the grill, but even in Southern California, summer eventually ends and I take my cooking back inside. That turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to this recipe. You’ll see what I mean when you make it. The long, slow roast in the oven produces tender meat that falls off the bone before it is saturated with a rich, flavorful keto barbecue sauce. Plus, no risk of flare-ups on the grill!
