Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs)
- 1 tsp salt (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium if preferred)
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (optional, for tang)
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil or water (for thinning glaze, if needed)
Instructions
Prepare the Ribs
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Cut the ribs into individual portions (2–3 ribs per piece) and season lightly with black pepper.
Bake the Ribs
3. Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil. Cover tightly with another layer of foil and bake for 2–2.5 hours until tender.
Make the Glaze
4. While the ribs are baking, combine honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and sesame oil in a small saucepan.
5. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5–7 minutes.
Coat and Broil
6. Once the ribs are tender, remove from the oven and discard the foil. Brush the ribs generously with the honey garlic glaze.
7. Turn the oven to broil and place the ribs under the broiler for 3–5 minutes until the glaze caramelizes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Serve and Garnish
8. Remove from the oven, brush with any remaining glaze, and sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve warm.
