Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Pat the pork spareribs dry with paper towels, then rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.
Place the ribs on the wire rack, bone-side down. Cover with foil and bake for 2.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and starts to shrink away from the bone.
While the ribs are baking, prepare the maple mustard glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, whole-grain mustard, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil until smooth.
Once the ribs are tender, remove them from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Brush a generous layer of the glaze over the ribs, then return them to the oven uncovered.
Bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, basting with glaze every 5 minutes, until the ribs are caramelized and sticky.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before cutting between the bones to serve. Enjoy these sweet and tangy maple mustard spareribs with your favorite sides!
