Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, paprika, honey, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
2. Place the pork ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the ribs, making sure they are well coated.
