Easy Baked Boneless Pork Ribs – Paleo

A simple recipe for cooking boneless pork ribs in the oven. With very little effort, you’ll have this easy baked boneless pork ribs meal ready to serve as an appetizer or main dish.

Since I am cutting back on low carb sweets, I thought I’d bring back some basic meat dishes. One of the things I’ve been trying to do is up my daily intake of protein. I find that I eat a lot less calories when I fill up on protein.

I have started to replace breakfast and an occasional lunch with a low carb protein shake which has helped. The meals that I do eat consist mainly of a green salad topped with meat.

My goal is to lose at least 3 pounds over the next month. I have a trip to Florida planned with my son for his spring break in March and I’d like to be a few pounds lighter before wearing my warm weather clothing.

These easy baked pork ribs are something I made for a quick meal one nice. And they made a great salad topping for lunch the next day by slicing them into thin bite size pieces.

I also sliced up a few of the baked boneless pork ribs to put into a vegetable stir fry the next day. My husband loved the stir fry.

To make a quick dinner, I just cooked the pork slices with a bag of frozen stir fry mix and some soy sauce seasoning.

I usually cook ribs in the slow cooker because it makes the meat so tender. The meat just falls off the bone. But I wanted to try baking some boneless ribs.

Today I’m sharing how to cook boneless pork ribs in the oven and it’s super easy. You just spray or line a baking sheet, place the ribs on the prepared pan, season, then bake.

The boneless pork ribs should be fully cooked in about 25 to 30 minutes. The temperature to bake them at is 350°F. You may want to check the meat with a thermometer to ensure it’s done.

You can serve the meat with any low carb vegetable. Broccoli and green beans are my family’s favorites. And, feel free to change up the seasonings.

I also love to cut these up and top them over a salad. It will turn your regular greens into a great meal.

If using these on a salad, just watch the dressing for any sneaky carbs. I top my salads of with oil and vinegar. But sometimes I like to use a creamy blue cheese dressing or a low carb ranch dressing.

We have also served these baked boneless pork ribs as appetizers. Sometimes we slice them into strips and put them on skewers.

When serving as an an appetizer, they are fantastic paired with low carb cheese sauce or a low carb BBQ sauce for dipping. Some may even enjoy a sweet or spicy dip instead.

I’m actually starting to like meat better than sweets. I think you’ll agree that going off sweeteners for a little while will really help you if you are stalling with weight loss.

Foods that are sweet seem to have an impact on the hunger hormones. And when I eat sweets, I tend to overeat because I feel hungrier.

So why not stick with the savory dishes and see how you feel. You should notice a difference as you start to move away from your sweet cravings.

I think you’ll find that you really don’t sweet foods at all! It’s just a continuation of sugar addiction in a different form.

Now that you know how to cook boneless pork ribs in the oven, how will you serve them? As an appetizer, main dish, or salad topper?

If you can’t decide, make up a big batch to do all three! That’s the way I like to do it.

With this one recipe, you can have several different meals just from the leftovers. So it’s a great item to include in your meal plan.
