Description
A recipe for sweet and savory pork ribs coated in a sticky honey garlic barbecue sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs pork spare ribs
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil.
- Bake the ribs for 2 hours until tender.
- While the ribs bake, prepare the sauce: Combine honey, soy sauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, smoked paprika, and black pepper in a small saucepan.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Remove the ribs from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
- Brush the ribs generously with half of the honey garlic sauce.
- Return the ribs to the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- Brush the ribs with the remaining sauce and bake for another 5 minutes until the sauce is caramelized.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can finish the ribs on a grill for added char flavor instead of the final oven step.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of water to thin it slightly.
