• Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
• Sweet Paprika: 1 tablespoon
• Cumin powder: 1 teaspoon

Detailed Preparation Method

1. Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated onion, soy sauce, olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Add the ribs to the marinade, making sure all sides are well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.

2. Preheat the oven: About 30 minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 180°C.

3. Roast the ribs: Place the ribs in a baking dish with the meat side up. If desired, drizzle with a little more marinade. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. After this time, remove the aluminum foil.

4. Add the barbecue sauce: Apply a generous layer of barbecue sauce over the ribs. Increase the oven temperature to 200°C and bake for an additional 30 to 40 minutes, or until the surface is caramelized and the meat falls away from the bones when touched with a fork.

5. Finalization: Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the sides of your choice.
