Maple Dijon Glazed Pork Ribs

Grilled ribs are a summer staple, but our Maple Dijon Glazed Pork Ribs are a year-round favorite. The combination of sweet maple syrup and tangy Dijon mustard creates a glaze that caramelizes on the outside while keeping the meat juicy and tender on the inside. These ribs are perfect for a backyard barbecue or a cozy indoor dinner.

The story of our Maple Dijon Glazed Pork Ribs begins in the heart of the Midwest, where barbecue is a way of life. We wanted to create a rib recipe that was both classic and unique, so we experimented with different combinations of spices and glazes. After many trials and tastings, we finally hit upon the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Our Maple Dijon Glazed Pork Ribs have been a hit ever since, and we're excited to share them with you.

Prep time: 15 | Cook time: 120 | Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2 lbs pork ribs
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Place the pork ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
4. Brush the glaze onto the ribs, covering them evenly.
5. Bake ribs in the oven for 2 hours, basting with the glaze every 30 minutes.
6. Once cooked and caramelized, remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Why It Works

• The combination of maple syrup and Dijon mustard creates a glaze that is both sweet and tangy.
• Grilling the ribs over indirect heat allows the meat to cook slowly and evenly.
• Basting the ribs with the glaze every 30 minutes helps to keep them moist and flavorful.
