This is a simple and tasty way to prepare pork 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 and slow-cooked to perfection. I finish it off with a very good quality drizzle olive oil and sea salt flakes before tucking in! (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.)

Lightly-spiced Keto Pork Ribs
Per serving
Equipment
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
- 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.
