Do you like eating ribs but don’t necessary want to use a BBQ grill? If so, you will like my coconut rib recipe! These coconut ribs are oven baked, easy to make, flavorful, moist, and tender. I do recommend to marinate the ribs overnight. This allows all the flavors to infuse into the ribs. Marinating the ribs overnight helps make the meat tender and moist.  Save the marinade to use later on the ribs. To be time efficient, while baking the ribs, work on thickening the marinade on the stove. Add balsamic vinegar and reduce the marinate by 50% of its original volume. The balsamic vinegar adds extra flavor. Brush the thickened sauce on to the ribs 10-15 minutes before the ribs are completely cooked. Then increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees and finish baking the ribs. These ribs are so tender, juicy and flavorful. You will love them as an appetizer or a meal.
