A delightful twist on classic ribs, featuring a sweet and tangy glaze that will leave you craving more.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking from the start.
In a saucepan, combine the honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to simmer, stirring occasionally.
Stirring prevents the glaze from sticking to the pan and ensures a smooth consistency.
Remove the glaze from heat and let it cool slightly.
Letting the glaze cool allows it to thicken slightly, making it easier to brush onto the ribs.
Place the pork ribs meaty side down in a large baking dish.
Arranging the ribs meaty side down helps them cook evenly.
Bake the ribs uncovered in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Baking uncovered allows the ribs to develop a nice crust.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Turn the ribs over and bake for an additional 50 minutes.
Turning the ribs ensures they cook evenly on both sides.
Brush the ribs generously with the prepared glaze and bake for another 10 minutes.
Applying the glaze in the final minutes of cooking prevents it from burning.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Resting the ribs allows the juices to redistribute, making them more tender.
