3-Ingredient BBQ Country-Style Ribs
These are the ribs in the foil trays. Thick country-style pieces, a dark glossy sauce, and a few charred spots. Three ingredients. No sugar. One serving is about 320 calories, 28g protein, and 5g net carbs. Two trays is the picture, not two plates.Use country-style ribs. They are meatier than baby back and land closer to the 28g protein. Sugar-free BBQ sauce is the second ingredient. A regular bottle has sugar and misses the card. Salt is the third. That is the whole list.Three hours in a low oven, covered, then uncovered for the last 20 minutes so the sauce sets and the tops color. That is the look in the trays.

The Secret to the Gloss
Cover the trays for most of the cook so the ribs stay tender. Uncover for the last 20 minutes so the sauce thickens and the tops color. Sugar-free sauce does not caramelize like regular BBQ. Give it the uncovered time or it stays thin.Prep Time: 5 mins
