First things first, feast your eyes on this mouthwatering beauty:
Now that we’ve properly salivated, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty. Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this finger-lickin’ good dish:
Ingredients:
- 2 racks of baby back ribs
- 1 cup maple syrup (the real deal, folks, not that fake stuff)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (because garlic makes everything better)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, if you like it spicy)
- Salt to taste
Looks good, right? Trust me, it’s a winner! Now, let’s get down to the how-to:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). This is where the magic starts, so don’t skip this step!
- Grab those ribs and rub them down with a bit of salt and pepper. Don’t be shy; give them a nice massage! Next, lay them in a baking dish, meat side up.
- In a bowl, mix together your maple syrup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Whisk it until it’s all mixed and you’re tempted to drink it.
- Pour the glorious mixture all over those ribs—make sure to coat them thoroughly. Now, cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil, sealing in all that juicy goodness.
- Pop them in the oven and let them cook for about 2.5 to 3 hours. This is where things get real. The longer they cook, the happier you’ll be. Just let them work their magic!
- When the timer goes off, remove the foil and crank up the heat to 400°F (200°C). Let those ribs caramelize for another 30 minutes. Oh man, your kitchen is about to smell like heaven!
- Once they’re done, take them out, let them rest for a minute (if you can resist), and then slice them up. Grab a plate, and get ready to indulge!
And there you have it—Maple-Glazed Ribs that will make you the star of any barbecue! Try not to eat them all at once, and remember, sharing is caring (but only if you really, really have to). Enjoy!
