These slow-cooked BBQ ribs are tender, flavorful, and perfect for a hearty meal.
Spray the inside of the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Cut the ribs into serving-sized portions and season them with salt and pepper.
Cutting the ribs makes them easier to handle and ensures even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and water.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Place the ribs in the slow cooker and pour the sauce over them, ensuring they are well coated.
Arrange the ribs in a single layer for even cooking.
Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, moving the ribs around halfway through to ensure even coating with the sauce.
Cooking on low ensures the ribs become tender and absorb the sauce flavors.
Serve the ribs hot with your favorite sides and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of smoked paprika for presentation.
