Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Prepare the ribs by patting them dry with paper towels. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for more tender texture.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.
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.
Place the ribs in the preheated oven and bake for 2.5 hours until tender.
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.
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.
Once the ribs are done, carefully remove them from the oven and discard the foil covering.
Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
Brush the ribs generously with the maple glaze on both sides.
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.
Remove the ribs from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with your favorite sides and enjoy!
