Sweet and Spicy Asian BBQ Pork Ribs (Gluten-Free) with Steamed Vegetables

HomemadePepper3101

These Sweet and Spicy Asian BBQ Pork Ribs deliver the perfect balance of sticky, savory sweetness and a satisfying chili kick, all while staying gluten-free. The secret is in the marinade: a blend of honey, gluten-free soy sauce, hoisin, garlic, and ginger infuses the pork with bold flavor and keeps the meat juicy. Slow roasting ensures the ribs are meltingly tender, while a final high-heat blast creates that craveable, caramelized finish. Paired with crisp-tender steamed vegetables, this dish is equally perfect for a lively family dinner or a special weekend treat.

Ingredients

Instructions

Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs and cut into individual ribs. Pat dry with paper towels and season all over with kosher salt.
In a bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, honey, gluten-free soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha, garlic, and ginger to create a marinade. Coat ribs thoroughly in the marinade. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange ribs on the rack, reserving excess marinade.
Cover ribs with foil and bake for 2 hours until very tender.
Increase oven heat to 425°F (220°C). Brush ribs with reserved marinade and bake uncovered for 10-12 minutes until sticky and caramelized, turning once and basting again halfway through.
While ribs finish, steam broccoli, carrots, and snap peas until just tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season lightly with salt if desired.
Serve ribs hot, garnished with additional sliced scallions or sesame seeds if desired, alongside the steamed vegetables.
