Ingredients
Scale
Ribs:
- 1 rack of pork baby back ribs
- 1 teaspoon unrefined sea salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Carrots:
- 1 pound carrots, washed, peeled and cut into quarters until a 1/4 inch thick
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil
- 2 Tablespoons honey (for drizzling over carrots and ribs) (*Omit for Whole30)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the dry rub spices together in a small bowl.
- Lay out the rack of ribs on your lined baking sheet and sprinkle and pat the dry spices into both sides of the rack.
- Bake the rack of ribs for 1 hour and 40 minutes.
- Just before the ribs come out of the oven, massage the carrots with oil. Then nestle them around the outside of the baking sheet around the rack of ribs.
- Return the ribs and carrots to the oven for 15 minutes to cook.
- Once the carrots are fork tender, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Switch the oven from bake to broil. Then drizzle the honey over both the ribs and carrots.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven under broil and keep a close eye on them. Depending on your oven and rack placement you will broil for about 5 minutes until your carrots have caramelized. (Don’t be tempted to multitask, be patient and watch them to ensure they reach the desired color and doneness desired.)
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the ribs to rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving along with the carrots.
- Serve while warm and enjoy!
