🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 4 lbs Country-style pork spareribs
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking dish or roasting pan with foil for easy cleanup.

2. In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Rub this spice blend evenly over the pork spareribs.

3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Sear the spareribs on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. This locks in the flavor and creates a nice crust.

4. Transfer the seared spareribs to the prepared baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 hours, or until the ribs are tender and cooked through.

5. While the ribs are baking, prepare the M H M topping. In a mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, honey, and Dijon mustard. Stir until smooth and well blended.

6. After 1.5 hours, remove the foil from the ribs and brush a generous layer of the M H M topping over each piece. Increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, for an additional 20-30 minutes. Baste with more topping halfway through for an extra glossy finish.

7. Once done, remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot with your favorite sides.
