Ingredients

• Pork ribs - 500 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Honey - 2 tablespoons
• Apple cider vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Gluten-free BBQ sauce - 1/4 cup
• Fresh parsley - for garnish

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
2. In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt to create a dry rub.
3. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork ribs, ensuring they are well coated.
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
5. Place the seared ribs on a baking tray lined with aluminum foil.
6. In another bowl, mix honey, apple cider vinegar, and gluten-free BBQ sauce until well combined.
7. Brush the sauce mixture generously over the ribs, saving some for later.
8. Cover the ribs tightly with another piece of foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours.
9. After 2 hours, remove the foil and brush the ribs with the remaining sauce. Increase the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F) and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
10. Remove the ribs from the oven, let them rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve garnished with fresh parsley.
