Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork ribs
- 1/3 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking tray with aluminum foil.
- Prepare the Ribs: Pat the pork ribs dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared tray.
- Make the Honey Garlic Glaze: In a bowl, mix honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, olive oil, black pepper, salt, and paprika until well combined.
- Season the Ribs: Brush half of the honey garlic sauce over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.
- Bake the Ribs: Cover the tray loosely with foil and bake for about 1 hour and 30 minutes until the ribs become tender.
- Add the Glaze: Remove the foil, brush the remaining glaze over the ribs, and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
- Caramelize the Sauce: Bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until the glaze thickens and caramelizes.
- Rest and Serve: Allow the ribs to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Description
These baked pork ribs are tender on the inside with a glossy honey garlic glaze on the outside.
The combination of sweet honey, savory soy sauce, and aromatic garlic creates a rich flavor
that coats every bite. Slow baking ensures juicy meat, while the final high heat caramelizes
the glaze for a beautiful finish.
Tips
- Remove the thin membrane on the back of the ribs for more tender meat.
- Marinate the ribs in the sauce for 1–2 hours for deeper flavor.
- Covering the ribs with foil during baking prevents them from drying out.
- Broil the ribs for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra caramelization.
- Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor.
Correction / Notes
- If the glaze becomes too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of water to loosen it.
- Watch carefully during the final baking stage to avoid burning the honey glaze.
- Adjust salt depending on the saltiness of the soy sauce used.
