LEBANESE 7 SPICE RIBS WITH ROASTED CARROTS AND GARLIC YOGURT

Ingredients

Before we get cooking, here’s everything you need. Check items off as you go — at home or in the store.

Preheat oven to 300°F. Prepare baking tray with a layer of foil and a piece of parchment on top. Set aside.
Remove any membrane on the underside of the ribs. Place on prepared tray.
In a small bowl mix together Lebanese 7 spice, brown sugar, and salt. Liberally season both sides of the ribs, rubbing into the meat to create a crust. Reserve roughly 1 tablespoon of seasoning.
Place ribs meat side up on parchment. Wrap foil around ribs, creating a pouch lined with the parchment. Bake for 1 ½ to 2 hours, until the ribs are tender and reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Follow with 3 minute rest.
While ribs are baking, combine yogurt and first amount of garlic and season with salt to taste. Set aside.
In a bowl, add carrots, butter, honey, and second amount of garlic and toss until carrots are well coated.
Remove ribs once they have reached temperature. Unwrap foil and lay flat. Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Distribute carrots around ribs on tray. Sprinkle reserved seasoning over ribs. Return tray to oven and roast for 10-15 minutes, until carrots are tender and starting to caramelize and top of ribs has gotten crisp.
Let ribs cool 5-10 minutes before cutting. Serve with garlic yogurt and carrots. If desired drizzle with honey to finish.
