INGREDIENTS

5.75 oz Baby back ribs

1 tsp Smoked paprika

0.5 tsp Garlic powder

0.5 tsp Onion powder

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

1 tbsp Unsweetened BBQ sauce

0 tsp Honey

1.5 cups Asparagus

0 tsp Extra virgin olive oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.

• 2

  Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs using a paper towel for grip, then pat the meat dry.

• 3

  In a small bowl, whisk together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Rub the spice blend generously over both sides of the ribs, pressing it into the meat to adhere.

• 5

  Wrap the ribs tightly in the foil, seam-side up, and bake for 2 hours until the meat is tender and starting to pull away from the bone.

• 6

  While the ribs bake, whisk the unsweetened BBQ sauce and honey in a small bowl to create the glaze.

• 7

  Remove the ribs from the oven, carefully open the foil, and brush the top of the ribs with the honey-BBQ glaze.

• 8

  Set the oven to broil and place the ribs back in for 3 to 5 minutes until the glaze is bubbly and slightly caramelized.

• 9

  Toss the asparagus with olive oil and a pinch of salt, then roast at 400°F for 10 minutes while the ribs rest before serving.
