Ingredients
- 2 lbs. pork ribs – I used St. Louis Pork Ribs. Get FREE high quality organic protein in every order here from Butcher Box.
- 1/4 cup honey (organic, raw, unfiltered)
- 1/8 cup coconut aminos (organic, or soy sauce if not gluten/soy free)
- 1/8 cup distilled white vinegar
- 2 tbsp brown monk fruit (or sweetener of choice)
- 2 tsp garlic (minced)
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- Black pepper (to taste)
Want a More “Smoky” Taste?
If you love that classic smoky barbeque taste, you can add some smoked paprika to your sauce! I would do 1/2 a teaspoon.
How To Make Them
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a large baking pan with foil and spray with olive or avocado oil spray.
- Next, remove the membrane from the ribs and slice into individual pieces.
- In a large bowl, mix together the honey, coconut aminos, vinegar, monk fruit, garlic salt, and minced garlic. Keep stirring until the honey and monk fruit dissolve completely.
- Add in the baking soda. The sauce should get very foamy. Toss the ribs into the bowl and fully coat them in the sauce.
- Arrange the ribs meat-side up on the pan and pour any leftover sauce on top. Top the ribs with freshly cracked black pepper. Bake for 45 minutes.
Tips
For the most tender ribs, remove the thin membrane covering the rack. It can be tough when cooked, and if you love ribs that fall off the bone, the membrane has got to go. Your butcher may have already removed it, but if not, here’s how to do it yourself: gently slide a knife under the membrane and use your fingers to peel it away from the bones. It will be slippery. Grab the section you lifted off the bone with a paper towel to grip it and pull it off.

How To Store
You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can microwave them, or place them in the oven to reheat them at a low temperature (275 or so) so that they don’t overcook.
What To Serve With Ribs
With a heartier dish like ribs, you may want to serve these with some veggies or a fresh salad. Potatoes go very well with these baked ribs as well if you want something with a little more fluff, like potato salad, mashed potatoes, or fries. Or if you want to take a more southern route, how about some mac and cheese or cornbread?! These ribs go with practically anything. In the photos above, I served mine with my Sourdough Hawaiian Rolls and some baked Green Beans.
