Roasted Honey Pork Spare Ribs Recipe
Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a baking tray, layer the sliced onion, minced garlic, and the broken bay leaf.
- Add the potato cubes and carrot slices on top.
- Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, then drizzle with the white wine.
- Prepare the pork ribs by rubbing them with a mixture of honey, mustard, and orange zest, seasoned with a bit of salt.
- Lay the ribs over the vegetables and pour the orange juice over everything.
- Roast in the oven until fully cooked (about 2 hours and 30 minutes).
- Don’t forget to turn the ribs during cooking so they brown on both sides, and stir the potatoes occasionally for even roasting.

Frequently Asked Questions
You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a similar sweetness. If you prefer a less sweet option, try using brown sugar mixed with a little water to create a syrup-like consistency.
Leftover pork spare ribs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, wrap the ribs tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then freeze them for up to 3 months.
If your ribs are not browning, you can increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) for the last 20-30 minutes of cooking. Additionally, turning the ribs more frequently or basting them with the pan juices can help achieve a better caramelization.
