I’ve figured out how to make grilling ribs no problem by creating a sugar-free, gluten-free, low-carb BBQ sauce. It’s got a nice smoky maple flavor with a kick of vinegar and a touch of heat. I sweeten it with Lakanto keto-friendly maple syrup which is made from monkfruit & a little bit of stevia glycerite. Both sweeteners will not spike your blood sugar and are naturally made. I highly recommend keeping both of these low-carb sweeteners in your pantry and refidge at all times since you will use them all the time in cooking as part of a healthy low-sugar lifestyle.
