    Juicy Boneless Pork Ribs Recipe

    There's not a lot of low carb pork recipes on the site. So I'm adding a really simple one for boneless spare ribs!

    It's something that can be used as a main dish, an appetizer, or a salad topping.

    To cut back on overeating, I've started to replace breakfast and an occasional lunch with a low carb protein shake which has helped. And the meals that I do eat consist mainly of a green salad topped with meat.

    These easy baked pork ribs are something I made for a quick meal one night 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! I just cooked the pork slices with a bag of frozen stir fry mix and some soy sauce seasoning.

    Ingredients in Baked Boneless Ribs

    There are very few ingredients in these boneless ribs. You probably already have just about all of them in your spice cabinet already!

    To make these ribs, this is all you need:

    • Boneless Pork Ribs
    • Garlic Powder
    • Onion Powder
    • Salt
    • Pepper

    Kitchen Tools Used

    • Baking Sheet Pan - The pork is cooked on a rimmed baking pan.
    • Oil Spray Bottle - Spraying with a little cooking oil adds flavor and helps prevent sticking.

    Cooking Tips

    • If you use garlic salt instead of garlic powder, don't use any extra salt. You can also use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder - it will give it a lot more flavor.
    • My baking times only work for boneless ribs. If you use bone-in ribs, you'll have to adjust the cooking time.

    Other Spices To Try On Ribs

    Garlic, onion, salt, and pepper are all easy spices that taste amazing on pork, but don't stop there. Experiment with other spices that you enjoy!

    • Marinate the ribs in sugar-free barbecue sauce and then bake them. The flavor is outstanding.
    • Another idea is to mix together some low-sodium soy sauce and ginger. This will make your ribs taste like your favorite Asian food.
    • If you want your pork ribs to have a little spice, sprinkle some paprika and red pepper flakes on them.

    How To Cook Boneless Pork Ribs

    There are lots of ways to cook pork ribs. My favorite way is to use the slow cooker because it makes the meat so tender. When I use regular ribs, the meat just falls off the bone.

    But, this time around, I wanted to try baking some boneless ribs.

    How To Bake Boneless Pork 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 spare 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.

    How To Serve Baked Pork Ribs

    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.

    Boneless Pork Ribs Main Course

    My favorite way to serve boneless baked pork ribs is as the main course.

    You can serve the meat with any low carb vegetable. Broccoli and green beans are my family's favorites. But, adding some cheesy zucchini gratin will make an extra special meal.

    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.

    Boneless Ribs Appetizer

    We have also used this baked boneless pork ribs recipe as an appetizer. Sometimes, we slice them into strips and put them on skewers.

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

    Frequently Asked Questions About Baked Boneless Ribs

    The entire recipe is at the bottom of this post, but first, I have a few questions I wanted to answer.

    At What Temperature Is Pork Fully Cooked?

    Pork ribs should be cooked until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.

    Should Your Wrap Ribs In Foil When You Bake Them?

    This method is really for ribs with bones. It's not necessary for boneless ribs. It speeds up the cooking process while making sure they stay tender.

    Can You Use Beef Ribs Instead?

    Yes, you can use boneless beef ribs or pork ribs. Either one works!

    If you cook beef ribs, the internal temperature only has to reach about 135 degrees before it is fully cooked.

    Should You Boil Ribs Before Baking Them?

    This method is known to tenderize the ribs even more, however, it is not necessary. My recipe leaves you with very tender ribs without boiling them.

    More Low Carb Pork Recipes

    Want a few more low-carb pork recipes to enjoy in fall? Here are a few of my other favorites:

    • Pressure Cooker Pork Loin - Keep the oven off by cooking in an electric pressure cooker.
    • Char Siu Chinese BBQ Pork - Ditch the carb-heavy takeout with a healthier low carb BBQ coating.
    • Filipino Pork Belly Adobo - Slow cooking makes the pork very tender in this classic dish.
    • Low Carb Pulled Pork - Perfect for a summer barbecue or enjoying on keto-friendly bread.
    • Crock Pot Pork Tenderloin - Balsamic vinegar adds a touch of sweetness and makes the meat tender and juicy.

      I stuck to the basics; these were simple and delicious! I found it easiest to put the ribs in a big bowl then toss with all the seasonings. I used non-stick foil on my baking pan. Also, went with about 1 tablespoon of fresh, minced garlic as suggested (rather than garlic powder). 25 minutes was perfect for the small boneless country ribs sold in one slab with partial slices, which I sliced through for individual ribs. (Some country ribs are very big. I am sure they would work, too, but would need longer cooking time). Look forward to trying these in BBQ sauce, too. Thanks for sharing. !

      You can defrost them very quickly by putting them in a Ziploc bag, press the air out, submerge them in a bowl of cold water and run a trickle of cold water over them. You may have to set something on them to keep them submerged. I'll bet it will only take 20-30 minutes to defrost. Maybe less.

        Hey, was wondering if these are pork shoulder/butt country ribs or loin ribs? I love the fatty bone in butt ribs but I picked up boneless ribs from the loin and they are too lean and get dry—- just wondering which you had and beat way to cook loin ribs— thanks

      You just saved me. I have bought and used boneless pork for many recipes. Sliced it this way and that. Even fed it to the cat.
      But This girl was too tired to cook, and the meat had sat.
      Lowcarbyum is where it's at!
      How did I not think to just cook it in the oven.
      SO EASY.
      I was able to feed myself AND my tired neighbor! LOL
      This is going to be breakfast with a soft boiled egg. She had it with her ramen.
      Oh, You have saved my so much time and effort.
      Seriously though, I had to stop cooking because of migraines, and being able to cook again for myself is so heartening and empowering. When my brain won't work, I can still make this and have meals for the week. You are wonderful to post this. I really needed it. Kudos! Cheers! Ciao Bella!

      Was so surprised how good this simple recipe turned out! Covered with foil after using Mrs Dash Herb and Garlic for seasoning. It tasted the closest to what pork used to taste like years ago, and sooooo tender. Due to unseen problems, had little time to cook the ribs as usual, and found this one. Paired with simple baked sweet potatoes, and peas. Only had one small piece left for spouse sandwich next day. Definitely a keeper. Was so tired of all other recipe ideas that ended up being different versions of a barbeque style. Was low in sodium too, which is my main objective. Thanks...a keeper!

        That is why it also says or until pork is cooked thoroughly which is at 145°F. Ovens can vary and some cook faster than others at the same temperature. I recommend using a meat thermometer to be sure.

      Do you have a recipe for bone-in spare ribs (not baby back ribs)? Any cut of meat with bones in usually results in being tender at the end of cooking time.
