Greek ribs are a style of ribs, most commonly pork or lamb, marinated in a tangy, Mediterranean-inspired blend of lemon, garlic, and oregano, then slow-cooked until tender. Unlike American-style ribs, which are often smothered in a sweet and smoky barbecue sauce, Greek ribs get their flavor from the bright, aromatic marinade.
step 1
Combine baby back ribs, onion, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Turn to ensure ribs are well coated.
step 2
Marinate in the refrigerator, turning occasionally, 4 to 8 hours.
step 3
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; grease with cooking spray.
step 4
Arrange ribs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Continue baking until ribs are tender, about 1 hour.
