Ingredients
Instructions
- Rub the ribs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Separate each rib and arrange on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 375°F for about an hour or until the ribs are tender and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, marinate the ribs with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and brown sugar overnight. If you don't have brown sugar, you can substitute with white sugar mixed with a bit of molasses. For extra glaze, brush on some honey during the last 10 minutes of baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the glazed spareribs with coleslaw or cornbread for a classic American meal. They pair beautifully with Oh Boy Rice Dish, making for a hearty combination. Consider adding baked beans or a fresh salad for a balanced plate.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover glazed spareribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap the ribs in aluminum foil and place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. This helps retain moisture.
