Sticky, Sweet, and Just a Little Spicy—Meet Your New Favorite Ribs
At The Little Shop, we’re always playing with flavor—and these Pineapple Chipotle Glazed Ribs are a mouthwatering mix of sweet heat and smoky goodness.
The secret’s in the glaze: our Pineapple White Balsamic brings a bright, tangy sweetness that perfectly balances the smoky kick from our Chipotle Olive Oil. Add a touch of honey and a kiss of the grill, and you’ve got ribs that are sticky, saucy, and totally irresistible.
Whether you’re hosting a backyard cookout or just treating yourself to something extra, these ribs are guaranteed to impress. We love serving them with a fresh summer salad or our mango pineapple salsa for a flavor-packed plate.
Warning: they might steal the show at your next gathering.

These Pineapple Chipotle Glazed Ribs are smoky, sweet, and sticky with just the right amount of heat—thanks to our Chipotle Olive Oil and Pineapple White Balsamic.
Ingredients
- 2 racks baby back ribs (about 4 lbs)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
-
2 tbsp Chipotle Olive Oil (for rubbing)
For the Glaze
-
½ cup Pineapple White Balsamic
- ⅓ cup honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat
Directions
- Prep the ribs: Remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs. Pat dry.
- Make the rub: Mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub ribs with Chipotle Olive Oil, then coat evenly with spice mix.
- Wrap and bake: Wrap ribs in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 300°F for 2.5–3 hours until tender.
- Make the glaze: While ribs bake, combine balsamic, honey, soy sauce, ketchup, and Dijon in a saucepan. Simmer for 8–10 minutes until thickened.
- Grill or broil: Remove ribs from foil, brush with glaze, and grill or broil on high for 3–5 minutes per side until caramelized and sticky.
- Serve: Rest a few minutes, slice, and serve with extra glaze on the side.
