- 2 lb pork spare ribs
- Sea salt to taste
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 5 garlic cloves minced
- Zest of 2 large or 3 small lemons
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley leaves
- 1 tsp dried chives
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper omit for AIP
- 1/2 tsp dried dill
- Juice from 1/4 lemon
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Sprinkle the ribs with salt on both sides and lay them flat on the baking sheet so they curve down.
2 lb pork spare ribs, Sea salt
In a small bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients, except lemon juice, until they form a thick paste.
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 5 garlic cloves, Zest of 2 large or 3 small lemons, 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley leaves, 1 tsp dried chives, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, 1/2 tsp dried dill
Rub the spice paste on top of the ribs until they are evenly coated. Bake the ribs for 2.5-3 hours until they are juicy in the inside, and crispy on the outside.
Cut spare ribs into sections. If you want crispier ribs, broil them for 4-5 minutes.
Sprinkle with lemon juice before serving.
Juice from 1/4 lemon
