Ingredients

• 3 lbs Pork spareribs
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tbsp Fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 tbsp Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 cup Balsamic vinegar
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 cup Chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the spareribs and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create a Tuscan herb rub.

Step 4

Rub the herb mixture generously over both sides of the spareribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 5

Place the spareribs on a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, meat-side up. Cover the tray tightly with another sheet of foil to keep the ribs moist during roasting.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 2 1/2 hours, or until the meat is tender and begins to pull away from the bones.

Step 7

While the ribs are cooking, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat to simmer.

Step 8

Let the glaze simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Step 9

Once the ribs are done roasting, remove them from the oven and carefully uncover the foil. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).

Step 10

Brush a generous amount of the balsamic glaze over both sides of the ribs.

Step 11

Return the ribs to the oven and roast uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until they develop a caramelized, sticky glaze.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Serve the spareribs warm, drizzled with any remaining balsamic glaze, and enjoy!
