My Hawaiian friend first showed me this recipe, and we’ve been eating it regularly since!
Picture this: a bite of tender ribs, coated in a sticky, sweet sauce with a tropical twist, thanks to a generous helping of diced pineapples. These Slow Cooker Hawaiian Ribs will transport you straight to the sandy shores of the islands, no matter if it’s snowing outside your Midwestern window. I love whipping up these ribs when I’m craving something exotic yet homey. The best part? The slow cooker does most of the heavy lifting, meaning I can focus on work or relax while dinner practically makes itself.
To complement the sweetness of the Hawaiian ribs, I like to serve them with a side of fluffy white riceβwhich soaks up that delicious sauceβand some steamed broccoli or a crisp green salad for a refreshing crunch. If you’re feeling extra fancy, go for a scoop of coconut rice and some grilled pineapple slices alongside your ribs for a full tropical experience.
