Instructions
Preparing the Ribs
- Mix the spices together. Rub the spice mixture onto both sides of the ribs and massage it well into the meat. Let the ribs marinate for a few hours or, ideally, overnight.
Baking the Ribs
- After marinating, place the ribs in a baking tray and cover them well with aluminum foil. Bake in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for at least 1.5 hours.
- Once cooked on one side, remove them from the oven and brush with the prepared sauce (details below). Put the ribs back in the oven until fully cooked.
Preparing the Carrots
- Slice the carrots diagonally into rounds, then cut each piece in half. Add a little olive oil and dried garlic.
- Mix well and place the carrots on a baking tray. Bake in the oven at 180°C (350°F) until cooked through.
Making the Sauce
- In a small pot, combine ketchup, soy sauce, chopped garlic, and honey. Heat over the stove for a few minutes while stirring constantly.
Finalizing the Ribs
- Remove the ribs from the oven and brush the other side with the prepared sauce. Return the ribs to the oven. Once both sides are cooked, remove the ribs from the oven.
Preparing the Parsley Mixture:
- Finely chop the parsley and mix it with melted butter, crushed garlic, and lemon juice. Remove the carrots from the oven and pour this mixture over them.
Finishing the Dish
- Sprinkle sesame seeds over the carrots for added flavor. Take the ribs out of the oven and serve them hot.
