Equipment

  • Instant Pot or Slow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds natural baby back ribs
  • 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne
  • 1 T smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp. Real Salt
  • dash of black pepper
  • Whole30 approved BBQ sauce we used Tessamaes-optional to top with sauce

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients EXCEPT meat and BBQ sauce
  • Massage spice mixture into all areas of the meat
  • Rim your Instant Pot bowl with the slab of ribs stand up on their side so they circle around (Make sure to place the meaty side against edge bowl; It will resemble a crown of ribs)
  • Add one cup of water to the bottom of the pan
  • Cook on high pressure cook for 25 minutes (for crockpot, cook on low 6-7 hrs)
  • Manually release pressure and transfer ribs to a baking sheet
  • Baste with Whole30 approved BBQ sauce (optional) and broil 2-3 minutes to give that crispy outer layer

Notes

Pro Tip: If you have two slabs of ribs, place on curled inside the other.
