What To Serve With It
When you’re serving up tender ribs with that sweet peach glaze, you’ll want sides that balance the rich flavors without stealing the spotlight. I always go for coleslaw pairings—the crunch and tang cut through the richness perfectly.
A simple cabbage slaw with a zesty dressing works wonders. Grilled vegetables are another must for me; they add a smoky, charred flavor that complements the ribs beautifully. Think zucchini, bell peppers, or even corn on the cob.
These sides keep the meal light and fresh, letting the ribs shine. Trust me, it’s a combo that’ll have everyone coming back for seconds!
