    Ingredients

    Rib ingredients laid out in small glass bowls.
    • Baby back ribs-I like to get mine from Butcher Box. They have the best quality stuff!

    • Bone broth-I like Kettle & Fire bone broth, but any kind of beef bone broth will work!
    • Onion powder, garlic powder, mustard powder, sea salt, coconut sugar, paprika, and cayenne pepper-This is the dry rub for the ribs.

    See the full recipe card below with a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    • BBQ Sauce-Any kind will work, but the Hawaiian kind is my favorite!
    • Coconut sugar-I prefer coconut sugar because it is refined sugar free, but you can use brown sugar if desired.

    Expert Tips

    Recipe FAQs

    How can I tell if ribs are done?

    The best way to tell if ribs are done is by temping them with a meat thermometer. Ribs should temp between 190-200 degrees F.

    What pairs well with ribs?

    Nearly anything! You could pair this with a salad, Whole30 mashed potatoes, home fries, air fryer potato wedges, or crispy mini potatoes.

    What is the difference between spare ribs and baby ribs?

    Spare ribs are larger and more marbled, containing more fat. Baby ribs are smaller and contain less added fat.

    Is it better to cook ribs in the oven or on the grill?

    I personally prefer cooking ribs in the oven, but you can also cook them on the grill if you like the flavor of grilled food.
