Oven Baked Honey Garlic Glazed Pork Ribs

1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).

2. Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back for extra tenderness. Season with salt and black pepper, then place in a large baking dish.

3. Make the glaze: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, rice vinegar, ginger, and olive oil.

4. Coat the ribs: Pour half the glaze over the ribs, coating them well.

5. Bake low and slow: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 2½ to 3 hours, until the ribs are tender.

6. Caramelize the glaze: Increase oven temp to 400°F (200°C). Brush remaining glaze over the ribs and bake uncovered for 15–20 minutes, until sticky and caramelized.

7. Rest & serve: Let rest a few minutes before slicing into portions.
