“This is a simple and tasty way to prepare ribs if you are steering clear of store-bought marinades which often contain sugar. A spice mix is rubbed onto the meat before it’s very tightly wrapped in foil. I then slow cook the parcels to perfection. I finish it off with a good quality drizzle of olive oil and salt flakes. Note: You could use a rack of ribs, but at the time of making this dish, I could only find pork ribs that had already been cut, as pictured.” – Monya

The magic lies in the spices used to season the ribs. I used ginger powder, cayenne pepper and garlic powder, accentuating the natural flavour of the pork.
The slow cooking process allows the ribs to become fall-off-the-bone tender.
Indulging in these ribs offers a tantalizing meal while staying true to the keto principles. They are an excellent choice to savour and relish without guilt.
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.

Lightly-spiced Keto Pork Ribs
Per serving
Ingredients
- 700 g (24.7 oz) pork ribs
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 TB olive oil, to drizzle
- sea salt flakes
- freshly ground black pepper
- chopped parsley, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 130°C (fan oven). This is 150°C for conventional ovens (or 300°F / gas mark 2).
- Place the pork ribs into a large bowl and scatter over the ground ginger, garlic powder, cayenne pepper and salt.
- Get stuck in with your hands, rubbing the mixture evenly into the ribs.
- Place the ribs onto a long piece 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. Remove the tray from the oven and wait 20 minutes before opening up the foil.
- Serve warm drizzled with olive oil and scattered with salt flakes and chopped parsley.
