🍯🧄 Honey Garlic Ribs
Serves 4–6
Ingredients
Ribs
- 2–3 lb (1–1.4 kg) pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs)
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
Honey Garlic Sauce
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Optional heat: chili flakes or sriracha
Instructions
1. Prepare the ribs
- Preheat oven to 325°F / 165°C.
- Remove membrane from the back of ribs (important for tenderness).
- Season ribs lightly with salt and pepper.
- Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet; cover tightly with foil.
2. Bake low & slow
- Bake 1½–2 hours, until ribs are tender.
3. Make the honey garlic sauce
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, and pepper.
- Simmer 5–8 minutes, stirring, until slightly thickened.
4. Glaze & caramelize
- Remove foil from ribs.
- Brush generously with honey garlic sauce.
- Increase oven to 425°F / 220°C.
- Bake uncovered 10–15 minutes, brushing once more, until sticky and caramelized.
Optional: Broil 2–3 minutes for extra char (watch closely).
🔥 Grill Option
- After baking, finish ribs on a hot grill for 3–5 minutes per side, brushing with sauce.
🍽️ Serving Ideas
- Serve with coleslaw, corn on the cob, baked beans, or garlic bread
- Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions
💡 Tips
- Don’t oversalt — soy sauce adds saltiness
- Low heat first = tender ribs
- Sauce thickens more as it cools
