BBQ Pork Ribs with Tangy Coleslaw and Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Step 1: Prepare the BBQ Sauce

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). In a bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.

• 1 cup BBQ sauce
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Step 2: Bake the Pork Ribs

Place the pork ribs on a baking sheet and brush the sauce mixture all over the ribs, making sure to coat them evenly. Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours.

• 2 lbs pork ribs

Step 3: Prepare the Coleslaw

In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated. Set aside.

• 4 cups shredded cabbage
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Step 4: Make the Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the minced garlic, milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash until creamy and smooth.

• 3 lbs potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup milk
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon salt

Step 5: Finish the Ribs

Remove the ribs from the oven and brush them with additional BBQ sauce. Place the ribs under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce begins to caramelize.
