Here’s a delicious recipe for glazed pork ribs that are tender, sticky, and full of flavor:
Ingredients (serves 4–6):
For the ribs:
- 2–3 lbs pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
For the glaze:
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions:
- Preheat oven
- Preheat to 300°F (150°C).
- Prep the ribs
- Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs for more tender meat.
- Season ribs with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
- Bake the ribs
- Place ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil.
- Cover with another piece of foil and bake for 2–2.5 hours until tender.
- Make the glaze
- In a small bowl, mix barbecue sauce, honey, soy sauce, mustard, and vinegar.
- Glaze and broil
- Remove ribs from oven and brush generously with the glaze.
- Increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) or use the broiler.
- Bake or broil for 10–15 minutes, brushing with extra glaze halfway through, until sticky and caramelized.
- Serve
- Let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into individual ribs.
- Serve with coleslaw, corn on the cob, or baked potatoes.
💡 Tip: For extra smoky flavor, you can finish the ribs on a grill for a few minutes instead of broiling.
If you want, I can also give a slow-cooker glazed ribs version where the ribs cook low and slow and then get a sticky glaze at the end.
Do you want me to give that version?
