These tender honey garlic ribs are oven-baked to fall-apart perfection with a sticky, sweet, and garlicky glaze. An easy, fuss-free recipe perfect for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 full rack pork ribs (about 2 to 2.5 pounds / 900–1150 grams)
  • 1/3 cup honey (113 grams)
  • 4 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (60 ml), low sodium preferred
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup (30 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (15 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon optional chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Remove the silver skin membrane from the back of the ribs by sliding a knife under it and pulling it off.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, black pepper, and optional chili flakes. Taste and adjust if needed.
  4. Place ribs on a large piece of foil (or two layers for sturdiness). Brush half the sauce generously over both sides, reserving the rest for later.
  5. Wrap the ribs tightly in the foil, sealing edges to create a packet.
  6. Place the foil packet on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours, until ribs are tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Carefully open foil (watch for steam), pour out any liquid into a bowl, and brush ribs with remaining honey garlic sauce.
  8. Set oven to broil (high). Place ribs uncovered back on the baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes until sauce bubbles and caramelizes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  9. Let ribs rest for 5 minutes before slicing between bones. Serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

If ribs aren’t tender after 2 hours, wrap them back up and bake for an additional 15-30 minutes. Broil carefully to avoid burning. Removing the membrane improves tenderness and sauce penetration. Use tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free version. Leftovers reheat well wrapped in foil at 300°F for 10-15 minutes with a quick broil to restore glaze.
