For the Masala Spice Rub:
- 1 tbsp garam masala
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin

Instructions: Keto Oven-Baked Masala Pork Ribs
Step 1: Prepare the Ribs
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Pat the pork ribs dry with a paper towel.
- Rub the ribs with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to enhance tenderness and flavor.
Step 2: Apply the Masala Spice Rub
- In a small bowl, mix all the spice rub ingredients.
- Generously coat the ribs with the masala spice rub, ensuring an even layer on all sides.
- Let the ribs marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).
Step 3: Bake the Ribs
- Wrap the seasoned ribs in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone.
- Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
- Broil the ribs for an additional 5-10 minutes to achieve a slightly crispy, caramelized finish.
Step 4: Prepare the Keto Masala Sauce (Optional but Recommended!)
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, and ground ginger, stirring well.
- Pour in heavy cream and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Drizzle the sauce over the baked ribs before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with steamed cauliflower rice or keto naan bread for a complete meal.
- Pair with a fresh cucumber yogurt salad to balance the spice.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and lemon wedges for extra flavor.
