“My butcher hooked me up with a whopping kilogram of pork ribs recently! So, I got to work creating a delicious glaze to brush over them while we braaied one day. I used tamari (gluten-free soy sauce) and the delicious The Skinny Food Co Sugar-free Maple Syrup along with other few bits. These keto BBQ ribs will sufficiently feed 4 hungry people. More importantly, I want to encourage you to please try technique of pre-cooking the ribs ahead of going onto the grill. The meat literally falls off the bone… its pure heaven!” – Monya

Tamari, a gluten-free soy sauce, provides a savoury umami flavour. Meanwhile, sugar-free maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness without compromising the keto goals.
As the ribs sizzle on the BBQ, the marinade caramelizes, creating a delightful glaze that seals in the moisture and adds a smoky richness to the meat.
This dish proves that indulgence and keto can harmoniously coexist, satisfying both taste buds and health-conscious desires. So, fire up the grill, and treat yourself!
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals.

BBQ Ribs in Tamari and Skinny® Maple Syrup
Per serving
Ingredients
- 1 kg (2.2 lb) pork ribs
- salt
- 50 g (1.8 oz) No-added-sugar tomato ketchup
- 30 g (1 oz) tamari, (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 20 g (0.7 oz) Skinny® Maple sugar-free syrup
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- sea salt flakes
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp snipped chives
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 130°C (fan oven). This is 150°C for conventional ovens (or 300°F / gas mark 2).
- I cut my rack in half to make for easier handling. Season all sides with salt.
- Place the ribs onto two long pieces of aluminium foil. Wrap very tightly in the foil to ensure that no steam escapes. The foil parcel should be 100% airtight. If in doubt, double-wrap. If you may have accidentally pierced the foil, double wrap! Place the foil-wrapped ribs foil onto a tray.
- Place in the oven for 3 hours.
- In the meantime, make the marinade by combining the ketchup, tamari, Skinny® Maple sugar-free syrup and garlic powder in a small bowl. Cover and set aside.
- After 3 hours, remove the tray from the oven - but do not open the foil for at least 20-25 minutes - allow the meat to rest. Prepare the BBQ.
- When the BBQ is ready, carefully place the ribs onto the grill and use a silicon brush to baste all sides with the the marinade. The low-and-slow cooking of the ribs earlier will result in them practically melting off the bone, so be gentle with them
- Once all the marinade is used up and the ribs are sticky, serve seasoned with sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper. Garnish with snipped chives if you are feeling a little fancy.
