I love to cook ribs! One of our favorite ways is in the crock pot. It makes them really tender and juicy. It’s also easy! And my special dry rub makes them low-carb (keto).
I brush them with our favorite sauce and then pop them in the oven to get them nice and saucy and yummy. Yum!
Ribs-Use baby back ribs for this recipe! They make great dishes in the slow cooker.
Brown Sugar Substitute-You can use a special type of sugar for this recipe that helps reduce carbohydrates. It’s called a “brown sugar substitute”, or use homemade keto brown sugar.
Sugar-Free BBQ Sauce-Choose your favorite brand of sugar substitute for the ribs. You can find lots of sugar-free BBQ sauces in bottles or you can make your own.
Prepare the Ribs – To get the ribs ready for the slow cooker, first remove the membrane on the back. If it isn’t already removed, use a knife and a paper towel to carefully pull it off.
Then cut the ribs into halves or thirds so they can fit in the slow cooker. Once the ribs are prepped, you’re ready to make the dry rub.
Dry rub-Mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, salt, parsley, and brown sugar substitute in a bowl. Whisk until blended.
Then sprinkle the dry rub over one side of the ribs. Use your hands to rub it into the meat, coating as much of the surface as you can.
Flip the ribs over and coat the other side too. Now your ribs are flavored and ready to cook!
Slow Cook-Put your ribs in the slow cooker with some apple cider vinegar and water. Cook on low for 8 hours. After 8 hours, you’ll have amazingly tender and juicy ribs ready to eat!
If you’re short on time, you can cook them on high, but cooking them low and slow will get you the best flavor.
Broil with BBQ Sauce-Take the ribs out of the slow cooker and put them on a baking sheet. Then, spread a sugar-free BBQ sauce all over the ribs.
Put the baking sheet in the oven under the broiler.
This will thicken and caramelize the sauce, making the ribs extra tasty. Keep an eye on them, because the broiler can burn the ribs quickly – it should only take around 5 minutes. When it’s done, the ribs are ready to be served hot!

Yeah! I like to make more food than we need so we have leftovers. They’ll stay fresh in the fridge for up to 4 days if you keep them in an airtight container.
If you’re trying to watch your carb intake, it’s best to buy BBQ sauce without added sugar. But if you don’t care about carbs, go ahead and pick your favorite sauce and enjoy it on your ribs!
If your ribs aren’t ready after the time is up, keep cooking them. Eventually, they’ll become tender and the meat will pull back from the bones.
