Ingredients
– 2 1/2 to 3 pounds pork ribs
– Sea salt to taste
– Black pepper to taste
– 1 teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 2 teaspoons seasoning blend or rib rub
– 1 to 1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce
– Jackfruit or seitan for vegan
– Smoked sea salt for low-sodium diets
Instructions
1-First, season the ribs on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and seasoning blend for a flavorful base.
2-Then, stand the ribs upright in the slow cooker with the meatier side facing the inner wall to avoid sogginess and ensure even cooking.
3-Next, pour the barbecue sauce over the ribs on both sides, letting it drip down for maximum taste infusion.
4-Cook with the lid closed on high for about 4 hours or on low for about 8 hours until the meat easily pulls from the bones.
5-Once done, place the ribs on a large platter or baking sheet and spoon the cooking juices over them for extra moisture.
6-Serve with additional barbecue sauce on the side, and remember that leftovers can be reheated in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, covered to keep them juicy.
