Ingredients:
- 4 pounds pork spareribs
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ribs:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs if it’s still attached.
- Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Make the Marinade:
- In a bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper.
- Marinate the Ribs:
- Brush the marinade generously over both sides of the ribs.
- Cover the ribs with aluminum foil and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes. For best results, marinate in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
- Bake the Ribs:
- With the ribs still covered in foil, bake in the preheated oven for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the ribs are tender.
- Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
- Brush the ribs with more marinade and bake uncovered for an additional 20-30 minutes, basting occasionally, until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
- Serve:
- Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before cutting them into individual pieces.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Helpful Tips:
- For extra tenderness, you can boil the ribs for 10-15 minutes before marinating to remove excess fat.
- If you prefer a thicker glaze, simmer the remaining marinade in a saucepan until it reduces and thickens before brushing it onto the ribs.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve these Honey Garlic Ribs with coleslaw, mashed potatoes, or grilled vegetables.
- Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
FAQs:
- Can I use baby back ribs instead of spareribs?
- Yes, baby back ribs will also work well with this recipe. They may cook a bit faster due to their smaller size.
- Can I cook these ribs on the grill?
- Absolutely! After baking the ribs covered in foil, you can finish them on the grill over medium heat, basting with the marinade until caramelized.
- How do I store leftovers?
- Store any leftover ribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warm.
