These Keto Instant Pot Baby Back Ribs are tender, fall off the bone, saucy and lip-smacking good, low carb, bone-in, pork ribs that you can easily make with your Instant Pot.

I used a rack of pork ribs because they fit nicely into the Instant pot without cutting them apart. Beef ribs were definitely too big to fit in my 6 quart Instant Pot.

    Oh so good. Added 5 minutes to pressure cook and then turned on keep warm. Skipped the whole broil and ate served from Instant Pot. What leftovers? Next time will make more.

    These were easy and amazing. Don't tell your family they are keto and they would never know. So much flavor, moist inside, and has the great glazing on the outside people love with ribs. Thank you! This is going to be a go to.

    Cooking ribs in the IP is WAY faster and easier than the oven or grill. So this is the perfect recipe - I can't wait to make it this summer!
