These Tropical Glazed Oven-Baked Ribs are a delightful twist on a classic BBQ dish, featuring a tangy and sweet glaze that pairs perfectly with tender pork ribs.
Trim excess fat from the ribs to reduce grease during cooking.
Trimming the fat ensures the marinade penetrates better and reduces excess grease.
Combine ketchup, ginger, soy sauce, garlic, vinegar, salt, and pineapple juice in a bowl to create the marinade.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all flavors are evenly distributed.
Place the ribs in an oven-safe dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Marinating overnight allows the flavors to deeply infuse into the meat.
Preheat the oven to 325°F and let the ribs sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Bringing the ribs to room temperature ensures even cooking.
Cover the dish with foil and bake the ribs for 2 hours. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
Basting the ribs with the marinade during the last 30 minutes enhances the glaze.
Serve the ribs over steamed rice and garnish with pineapple chunks.
Adding fresh pineapple chunks enhances the tropical flavor.
