  • 1 rack of spare ribs 3-4 lbs
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons low carb granular sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon salt separated
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/2-1 tsp if you like a kick!
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons liquid smoke

Instructions
 

  • Sprinkle the ribs with 2 teaspoons of the salt and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 teaspoon salt with the smoked paprika, sweetener, black pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and parsley. Reserve 1 tablespoon of this seasoning for later.
  • Rub the remaining seasoning mixture evenly over the rack of ribs.
  • Place the metal rack in the bottom of the Instant Pot.
  • Pour the water and liquid smoke into the pot.
  • Roll the rack of ribs and stand it upright on the metal rack inside the pot.
  • Close the lid and make sure the sealing valve is set to sealed.
  • Set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 35 minutes. If using baby back ribs, reduce the time by 8 minutes.
  • When the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 20 minutes, then manually release any remaining steam.
  • Preheat the oven broiler.
  • Carefully remove the ribs from the Instant Pot and place them bone side down on a baking sheet or broiler pan.
  • Sprinkle the reserved seasoning over the ribs.
  • Broil for 8 to 10 minutes until the surface is browned and lightly crisped.
  • Serve hot with the dry rub or with a low carb barbecue sauce if desired.
