Take note
Caution: Eating these ribs may cause a serious addiction to their mouthwatering flavor. Proceed with caution and have plenty of napkins on hand!

1

Prep the Ribs

Start by preheating your oven to 275°F (135°C). Take your beautiful rack of ribs and place them on a wire rack lined with aluminum foil. This will allow the heat to circulate evenly and ensure juicy perfection.

2

Rub Away

In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. This flavorful rub will make your taste buds dance with joy! Generously rub it all over the ribs, making sure to cover every nook and cranny.

3

Wrap and Bake

Wrap the ribs tightly with the aluminum foil, creating a cozy little packet of deliciousness. Place the packet on a baking sheet and pop it in the oven. Let the ribs slow-cook for 3 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender and succulent.

Lavender Love

While the ribs are doing their thing in the oven, it's time to whip up the honey and lavender glaze. In a saucepan, combine 1/4 cup of honey, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of dried culinary lavender, and a pinch of salt. Bring this beautiful concoction to a gentle simmer over low heat and let it infuse for 10 minutes. The fragrance alone will transport you to a lavender field in full bloom!

5

Glaze, Glorious Glaze

Once the ribs have slow-cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven and carefully unwrap them. Brush the honey and lavender glaze all over the ribs, making sure to get every inch coated in its sweet and floral goodness. Pop them back in the oven, uncovered, for another 15 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize slightly.

Time to Feast

Once the ribs are gloriously sticky and irresistible, it's time to dig in! Grab a pile of napkins, assemble your favorite sides (we recommend creamy mashed potatoes and tangy coleslaw), and dive headfirst into rib heaven. Share with loved ones or keep them all to yourself. We won't judge!
