Cooking Steps
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the sweet potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel).
Pop the wedges onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle over the Mexican style spice mix, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf until golden, 30-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, drain the sweetcorn in a sieve.
Grate the Cheddar. Trim the baby gem, separate the leaves, then tear into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, combine the smoky base paste and half the maple syrup.
Remove the ribs from the packaging and place in an ovenproof dish.
Roast on the top shelf of your oven for 20-25 mins. Turn halfway. IMPORTANT: Ensure the pork is piping hot throughout.
When the ribs are halfway through cooking, spread the smoky glaze all over the ribs and return to the oven for the remaining time, 10-12 mins.
When the sweet potato wedges have about 10 mins left, remove the tray from the oven and gently push the wedges together.
Sprinkle the sweetcorn and cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven for the remaining time until the cheese is melted and golden, 10-12 mins
In the meantime, in a medium bowl, combine the cider vinegar, olive oil and sugar (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper and mix together.
When everything is ready, add the baby gem to the dressing and toss to coat.
When everything's ready, drizzle the remaining maple syrup over the smoky sticky ribs. Slice between the bones to separate them into individual pieces.
Divide the maple glazed ribs and cheesy corn loaded wedges between plates.
Serve the baby gem salad on the side. Add the mayo (see pantry for amount) for dipping your chips.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The ribs are a real highlight, with the smoky-maple glaze drawing consistent praise and the meat falling off the bone. Some found the Mexican spice mix on the sweet potatoes a little overpowering, though the cheesy corn topping was widely enjoyed.
- Ease of prep: Straightforward to put together, though the cooking time is something to plan around rather than rush.
- Suggestions: Swap regular potatoes for sweet potatoes if you prefer a less sweet base; consider mozzarella in place of cheddar for a milder, stretchier topping. Adding grated carrot and extra dressing to the baby gem lifts it into more of a slaw-style side.
- Portions: Portions are generous, with plenty of meat on the ribs — well suited to bigger appetites.
