Paleo Honey-Spice Baby Back Ribs

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 250° F.
2. Position roasting rack inside a large roasting pan. Pour the chicken broth into the pan. Set aside.
3. Season the pork ribs liberally with salt and black pepper on both sides.
4. Pour 1/3 cup of the honey into a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 15-20 seconds until it is thinned, but not liquified or boiling.
5. Add the spices and herbs to the honey and whisk to combine.
6. Brush the spiced honey evenly onto both sides of the pork ribs.
7. Place the pork ribs meat side up onto the roasting rack. Cover the pan entirely with a large sheet of aluminum foil. Crimp the foil tightly around the edges of the pan so that no steam can escape.
8. Transfer the roasting pan to the middle rack of the preheated oven.
9. Roast the pork ribs for 2.5-3 hours, until they are very tender.
10. Remove the roasting pan from the oven.
11. Very carefully remove the foil from the pan. Brush the remaining honey evenly over the top of the pork ribs.
12. Turn the oven to broil.
13. Transfer the baking sheet to the top rack of the oven.
14. Broil the pork ribs for 4-5 minutes, until the honey starts to caramelize. Keep a close eye on the ribs to ensure they do not burn.
15. Carefully remove the roasting pan from the oven. Allow the ribs to cool for 3-4 minutes on the roasting rack.
16. Transfer the pork ribs to a cutting board. With a sharp knife, cut the ribs into desired portions, and serve immediately.
