Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Pat dry 2 pounds pork ribs and place them on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with foil.
2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp lime juice until smooth.
3. Step 3: Brush the honey glaze generously over both sides of the pork ribs. Cover the ribs loosely with foil and bake for 2 hours until tender.
4. Step 4: Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Brush the ribs again with the honey glaze and broil for 5-7 minutes until the edges are caramelized and sticky, watching carefully to prevent burning.
5. Step 5: Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes before slicing between the bones and serving warm.
