Ingredients

• 2 pounds lamb ribs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking tray with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Place the lamb ribs on a large cutting board. Pat them dry with paper towels and remove any excess fat or silver skin if necessary.

Step 3

Rub the lamb ribs with olive oil, ensuring an even coating on all sides.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, ground coriander, and brown sugar.

Step 5

Sprinkle the spice mixture generously over both sides of the ribs and massage it in gently.

Step 6

Arrange the ribs on the prepared baking tray, bone-side down. Cover the tray tightly with aluminum foil to trap steam and keep the meat tender.

Step 7

Roast the ribs in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away easily from the bones.

Step 8

While the ribs cook, prepare the glaze by mixing apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and water in a small saucepan.

Step 9

Bring the glaze mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 10

After roasting, uncover the ribs and brush them generously with the prepared glaze on both sides.

Step 11

Return the ribs to the oven and increase the temperature to 425°F (220°C). Roast for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the glaze has caramelized and turned sticky.

Step 12

Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into individual ribs.

Step 13

Serve the ribs warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
