• If you prefer a spicier glaze, add more red pepper flakes to the molasses mixture.
• To make the glaze thicker, you can simmer it on the stovetop for a few minutes before pouring it over the ribs.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover ribs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat the ribs, place them in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
