Orange Barbecued Spareribs

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and place a rack on top.

2. Pat the spareribs dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.

3. Place the ribs on the rack in the prepared baking pan, meaty side up. Cover the pan with foil and roast in the preheated oven for 2 hours, until the meat is tender.

4. In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.

5. Remove the ribs from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).

6. Brush the ribs generously with the orange barbecue sauce, making sure to coat them evenly.

7. Return the ribs to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, basting with more sauce every 10 minutes, until the ribs are beautifully glazed and caramelized.

8. Once the ribs are cooked through and the sauce is sticky and glossy, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before cutting into individual portions.

9. Serve the Orange Barbecued Spareribs hot, garnished with fresh orange slices and chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
