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)
• 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

1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs. Pat dry.
2. Mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub ribs with Chipotle Olive Oil, then coat evenly with spice mix.
3. Wrap ribs in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 300°F for 2.5–3 hours until tender.
4. While ribs bake, combine balsamic, honey, soy sauce, ketchup, and Dijon in a saucepan. Simmer for 8–10 minutes until thickened.
5. Remove ribs from foil, brush with glaze, and grill or broil on high for 3–5 minutes per side until caramelized and sticky.
6. Rest a few minutes, slice, and serve with extra glaze on the side.
