Maple-Glazed Baby Back Ribs

Dinner 🍽️Lunch 🥪 American High-Protein 💪Carnivore 🥩

Maple-Glazed Baby Back Ribs balance rich pork with a glossy, sweet-tangy lacquer from maple syrup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire. The meat turns tender and sticky, with gentle caramel notes and a hint of vinegar brightness. Serve these ribs for a relaxed weekend cookout or game-day spread when you want finger-licking, crowd-pleasing flavors.

Maple-Glazed Baby Back Ribs
  1. 1

    Place the ribs in a large pot and cover them with water. Cover the pot and simmer for 1 hour, or until the meat is tender. Drain, then move the ribs to a shallow dish.

  2. 2

    In a small saucepan, mix the maple syrup, brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and mustard powder. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Let cool slightly, then pour over the ribs and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

  3. 3

    Set up the grill for indirect heat. Remove the ribs from the marinade. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and boil it for several minutes.

  4. 4

    Lightly oil the grate. Cook for about 20 minutes, brushing frequently with the cooked marinade, until nicely glazed.
