Ingredients
- 2 racks Pork baby back ribs
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.3333 cup Soy sauce
- 4 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Step 2
Remove the silver skin membrane on the back of the ribs if it hasn’t been removed already. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub this spice mixture evenly onto both sides of the ribs.
Step 4
Place the ribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil, meat side up. Wrap the foil tightly around the ribs to form a sealed packet. Place the packet on a baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and nearly falling off the bone.
Step 6
While the ribs are baking, prepare the honey garlic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 7
After 2 hours, carefully remove the ribs from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
Step 8
Open the foil packet and brush the ribs generously with the honey garlic glaze on both sides. Leave the foil open so the ribs can caramelize.
Step 9
Return the ribs to the oven and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly and slightly browned.
Step 10
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
Step 11
Slice the ribs into individual servings and enjoy!
