Slow Cooker Ribs

Ribs that are soft and full of flavor that are cooked slowly in a slow cooker and then finished under the broiler for a barbecue glaze that turns caramelized. Great for a meal without gluten!

Ingredients:

• 2 racks baby back ribs
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup gluten-free barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Instructions:

Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs

In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper

Rub the spice mixture all over the ribs

Place the ribs in the slow cooker, standing them up along the walls of the pot with the meaty side facing outward

Pour barbecue sauce and apple cider vinegar over the ribs

Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours, until the ribs are tender

Once cooked, carefully remove the ribs from the slow cooker and place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil

Brush with additional barbecue sauce if desired

Broil in the oven for 5-7 minutes, until the sauce is caramelized

Slice and serve hot
