Keto Texas Ribs w Pan Fried Edamame

This full Keto meal is perfect for lunch, dinner, or meal prepping. Texan-style ribs are marinated in a dry rub. You’ll taste flavors like onion, paprika, cumin, and a hint of curry powder. Then, the ribs are roasted in your oven for multiple hours at a low temperature. They’re glazed with a Keto barbecue sauce that leaves a sweet, crispy outer texture on the ribs. Served on the side is a simple bed of pan-fried edamame. The edamame is simply seasoned and finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon. You can keep the ribs and edamame together in meal prep containers for up to 5 days in your refrigerator. Microwave the contents of the meal prep container together to reheat your meal.

Marinating Is Your Best Friend

Since you’re making this recipe in your oven, marinating your ribs for extended periods of time will really help you out. Pork tends to be a little tougher than other meats and can shrink a lot, so it can handle long marination. You want all the salt in your dry rub to break down the protein and tenderize the meat. This way, when your ribs go in the oven, they can still be slow-roasted until they fall off the bone.

I Want To Grill My Ribs Instead

If you own a grill and would like to cook the ribs in that instead, you can easily adjust your cooking time. A common way to cook ribs on a grill is on low heat, like 300 degrees, for 60-90 minutes over indirect heat. However, you can cook the ribs in your preferred method. Then, while the ribs are resting off the grill, you can quickly cook up the edamame at your stovetop.
