Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons honey, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 tablespoon lime juice to form a glaze.
2. Step 2: Place 2 pounds pork ribs on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Brush both sides generously with the honey glaze.
3. Step 3: Cover the ribs loosely with foil and bake for 2 hours, until tender and the meat starts pulling from the bone.
4. Step 4: Remove foil and broil ribs on high for 5-7 minutes, brushing again with remaining glaze halfway through, until edges caramelize and become slightly crispy.
5. Step 5: Let ribs rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
