Ribs with Honey Garlic Ingredients Four

These are the only ingredients you’ll need:

1. Pork Ribs – 2-3 pounds of baby back or spare ribs (choose whichever you prefer)
2. Honey – 1/3 cup of honey to give a delicious sticky sweetness
3. Garlic – 4-5 cloves, minced, for a robust and savory flavor
4. Soy Sauce – 1/4 cup for a rich, umami base that adds depth to the glaze

How to Make Ribs with Honey Garlic Glaze

1. Prep the Ribs: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Pat the ribs dry with paper towels, then season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the ribs in a baking dish or on a lined baking sheet with the bone side down.
2. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce until well combined. This will be your glaze.
3. Coat the Ribs: Brush a generous amount of the honey garlic sauce over the ribs. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to keep the moisture in and ensure that the ribs cook slowly and become tender.
4. Bake Low and Slow: Bake the ribs for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.
5. Caramelize the Glaze: After baking, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Brush the ribs with any remaining sauce and return them to the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the glaze is sticky and caramelized. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds for a little extra flair, and enjoy these tender, flavorful ribs!

Tips for the Best Honey Garlic Ribs

• Use Fresh Garlic: Fresh garlic will give the ribs a more intense, savory flavor than garlic powder or pre-minced options.
• Baste Often: For an extra sticky glaze, baste the ribs with the honey garlic sauce every 30 minutes during baking.
• Try the Grill: If you prefer a smoky flavor, finish the ribs on the grill instead of the oven for that perfect BBQ taste.

Serving Suggestions

These honey garlic ribs pair well with classic sides like coleslaw, cornbread, or mashed potatoes. For a lighter option, serve with a green salad or roasted vegetables.
