“We get our lamb ribs online from organic, grass-fed farms and the flavour is unbelievably superior! Your local butcher may be able to source them for you and they are not expensive at all. Morrisons here in the UK often has them too. I we aren’t cooking these peppered lamb ribs on the braai (BBQ), we do them in the air-fryer. I love “lamb rib nights”, because Funnyman is the one who cooks them while I put my feet up for a change. We love our Ninja and use it often to cook chicken thighs too. Mark likes his lamb ribs dipped in a mustard-mayo dip (included in macros here), but I love them just as they are. Lamb ribs are very fatty and very indulgent – so be sure to serve it with an acidic salad on the side to cut through all that richness.” – Monya

More on Peppered Lamb Ribs…
Lamb ribs can be a delicious and satisfying addition to a ketogenic diet. They are naturally rich in healthy fats, which is a key component of the keto diet.

In addition to their fat content, lamb ribs are a good source of protein. Protein is essential for maintaining muscle mass and overall health. It can help keep you feeling full and satisfied, which can be particularly important on a keto diet.
Lamb is a good source of essential nutrients such as B vitamins (especially vitamin B12), zinc, selenium, and iron. These nutrients are important for various bodily functions, including energy metabolism and immune system support.
They are packed with natural, savoury flavours and you can prepare them in various ways. You could season them with keto-friendly herbs and spices to enhance the taste without adding carbs. However, for me, they need only a generous seasoning of black pepper (and salt, of course). We love them on the braai (BBQ) in summertime and done in our air-fryer in winter.
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. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

Peppered Lamb Ribs
Per serving
Equipment
- Ninja air-fryer (optional)
Ingredients
- 500 g (17.6 oz) lamb ribs, (often called "lamb riblets")
- freshly ground black pepper
- 20 g (0.7 oz) mayonnaise, (optional)
- 20 g (0.7 oz) Dijon mustard, (optional)
- sea salt flakes
- chives, snipped to garnish
Instructions
- Generously grind black pepper on all sides of each rib.
- Once your grill or braai (BBQ) is ready, grill the lamb ribs, turning regularly until the fat has crisped and the ribs have cooked, approximately 25-30 minutes. Alternatively, you can grill them using an indoor grill to do the same thing, or you can do (as I discussed in the Intro), pop them into the air-fryer for 20-22 minutes (air-fryer setting, 180°C).
- If you choose to have a little "dip" on the side, combine the mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl while you wait. I don't feel my lovely ribs need this dip, but my husband LOVES doing this, which is why I am including it here.
- Season the cooked ribs with salt flakes and serve with the mustard mayo.
