Pomegranate Balsamic Glazed Ribs (Oven Baked!)

These oven-baked pomegranate balsamic glazed ribs make for such a tasty meal. St. Louis style ribs marinated in spices, worcestershire, brown sugar, and pomegranate juice then drizzled with balsamic glaze.

Happiest holidays from me and these glorious pomegranate balsamic glazed ribs, y’all! As I type up this very blog post, I’m currently chillaxin’ on the couch with all the holiday vibes around me. My Christmas tree is extra lit and looking all cute, my flannel and spruce candles are poppin’, and I may or may not have some hot cocoa on deck, ha! Listen, I ain’t ashamed to admit that I’m a total sucker for this time of the year.

Additionally, while we’re on the topic of cozy-inspired things, let’s talk about meals. I’ve been in such a mood of making super warm and comforting dishes. For example, chicken and dumplings are an absolute must, and so is this roasted sweet potato soup, and can’t forget this hearty easy skillet lasagna too. Bring on all those heartwarming + snug-filled eats, please! I’d love to hear all about your fave go-to dishes!

I’m using their Balsamic Vinegar Glaze within this pomegranate balsamic glazed ribs recipe, so very good! ICYMI, I recently shared this homemade sausage and fennel pizza and this scalloped potatoes recipe in partnership with them too! Their products include oils, vinegars, pasta, sauces, tomatoes, and more!

I’ve been wanting to develop a ribs-based recipe and I am so pleased with how this recipe turned out! These oven baked balsamic glazed ribs are truly divine, packed with so much flavor, and so easy to make that it’s ridiculous. In addition to that, they’re perfect for just about any occasion but especially for this season!

Ingredients For Pomegranate Balsamic Glazed Ribs

(Note: the full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.)

• St. Louis style pork spare ribs: These are the ribs I used for this recipe but I like to think that this recipe is very forgiving and can also work with beef ribs or country style pork ribs too.
• Seasonings: For extra flavor we’ll be using super simple pantry staple spices such as salt, white pepper (black pepper will work!), garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and dried parsley.
• Marinades: These balsamic glazed ribs get marinaded which invokes deep flavor. Extra oomph from worcestershire, pomegranate juice, brown sugar, and the delicious Colavita Balsamic Vinegar Glaze!

How To Make This Recipe

1. Season the ribs and prepare the marinade.
2. Allow the ribs to marinate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
3. Place the ribs onto a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack.
4. Bake the ribs in the oven at 350°F.
5. After baking the ribs at the halfway mark, baste the ribs with marinade.
6. Continue baking ribs until fully cooked through.
7. Once ribs are done, drizzle balsamic glaze over ribs and serve!

Rack Style Ribs Or Cut/Sliced Ribs?

For this balsamic glazed ribs recipe, I am recommending that the ribs be sliced apart beforehand. To do this, slice them yourself or ask your butcher to slice the ribs for you. If the ribs are rack-style it can be challenging to properly marinate them. Furthermore, when the ribs are sliced apart they soak up much more of the marinade. With these ribs already being cut, the baking time is drastically reduced as well.

What To Serve With Balsamic Glazed Ribs

I love to serve these ribs alongside some mashed potatoes or mashed sweet potatoes! However, you can really serve up these ribs paired with any of your favorite side dishes. For example, perfect sides include my smoked gouda mac and cheese, these maple roasted brussels sprouts, also these southern collard greens, how about Jamaican rice and peas, and this delicious loaded olive cheese bread, y’all!
