Ribs are a classic favourite for a summertime barbecue. In this Chipotle and Honey Glazed Ribs recipe, they’re slow-cooked in the oven with an aromatic herb and garlic paste, then finished off on the grill with a smoky chipotle chile and honey mustard glaze. Canola oil’s mildness helps all those flavours pop and its high smoke point is just right for the grill.

Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
Spice Paste
- 1 Tbsp cumin
- 1/2 Tbsp coriander
- 1/2 Tbsp ground oregano
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 Tbsp ground coffee
- 3 Tbsp mustard powder
- 1 Tbsp sea salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 Tbsp canola oil
- 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 2 full racks (about 4 lbs/2 kg) baby back or side ribs
Chipotle BBQ Sauce
- 1/4 cup finely chopped canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
- 2 Tbsp canola oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C).
- In blender or food processor, mix cumin, coriander, oregano, paprika, onion powder, coffee, mustard, salt, pepper, canola oil and garlic. Pulse until paste forms.
- Place double layer of foil on large, rimmed baking sheet. Place ribs on top and rub over top and bottom with spice paste. Use foil to wrap ribs tightly and bake on sheet until meat is fork-tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
- Meanwhile, in mixing bowl, whisk together chipotle sauce ingredients until well blended. Heat grill to medium-high and lightly oil hot grates. Remove ribs from foil, letting excess liquid drip off. Brush ribs with sauce and grill until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Cut between bones to separate ribs and serve with remaining sauce.
