Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork spare ribs
• 1 tablespoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Prepare the ribs by patting them dry with paper towels. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for more tender texture.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder.

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.

Step 5

Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil. Cover with another sheet of foil, sealing the edges to create a packet. This helps the ribs to steam and cook through.

Step 6

Place the ribs in the preheated oven and bake for 2.5 hours until tender.

Step 7

While the ribs cook, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, ground ginger, and vegetable oil.

Step 8

Heat the glaze over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and becomes sticky, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 9

Once the ribs are done, carefully remove them from the oven and discard the foil covering.

Step 10

Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.

Step 11

Brush the ribs generously with the maple glaze on both sides.

Step 12

Place the ribs on the grill or under the broiler. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, brushing with additional glaze, until caramelized and slightly charred.

Step 13

Remove the ribs from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 14

Serve warm with your favorite sides and enjoy!
