Honey Garlic Ribs

Introduction

Sticky, sweet, and savory — these Honey Garlic Ribs are melt-in-your-mouth delicious with the perfect balance of flavors. The tender pork ribs are slow-cooked or baked until they fall off the bone, then coated in a luscious honey garlic glaze that caramelizes beautifully.

Ingredients List

• 2 racks of pork ribs (about 4 lbs total)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp olive oil

For the Honey Garlic Sauce:

• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp cornstarch (mixed with 1 tbsp water)

Optional Garnish:

• Sliced green onions

Timing

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 2 hours
• Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ribs
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs and pat dry. Rub ribs with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and olive oil.

Step 2: Bake Until Tender
Wrap ribs tightly in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 2 hours until tender and cooked through.

Step 3: Make the Honey Garlic Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, ketchup, and vinegar. Simmer over medium heat for 3–4 minutes. Add cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened.

Step 4: Glaze and Broil
Unwrap ribs and brush generously with the honey garlic sauce. Broil for 3–5 minutes until the glaze caramelizes and bubbles.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Slice ribs and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve with rice, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables.
