MorningStar Farms® Sweet BBQ Riblets

2026-07-03T01:24:59.000+00:00 2026-07-06T00:30:33.000+00:00 The Morningstar sauced sweet bbq riblets were super easy to make. The package includes directions to oven bake or microwave. I opted to make them in the air fryer and they turned out perfectly. The riblets were covered in a good layer of bbq sauce, which was both sweet and smoky and smelled so good when ready. While the texture is not 100% like meat, it they are close enough and a great non meat alternative. They are on the pricey side, but worth it for a plant based option. Great plant option

2026-07-01T16:51:26.000+00:00 2026-07-04T00:00:28.000+00:00 I was really disappointed with the MorningStar Farms Sweet BBQ Riblets. I am a huge fan of ribs and I wanted to give these a try… I won’t be doing that again. The BBQ sauce taste more like ketchup than a sweet bbq taste. It lacked the smoky, sweet taste from bbq sauce. The texture of the meat was very different and it did not resemble any of the riblets I’m used to. I went in with high hopes, but unfortunately that was not enjoyable. I won’t be purchasing these again. Different but not real BBQ

The sweetness was balanced, and there wasn’t much spiciness, which I liked. The texture was tender and easy to chew, giving it a satisfying mouthfeel. The aftertaste was pleasant and left a light smoky BBQ flavor. I thought they were a tasty and convenient meat-free option. Convenient meat-free option!!
