Sweet and Spicy Baby Back Ribs image

The Ninja has done it again! I was so impressed with these ribs at how fast they cooked up and yet they were moist, tender and finger lickin' good! I didn't have to heat up the stove or go out and turn on the grill...instead they were done on the countertop in my kitchen. I have only cooked ribs a few times but cooking them in...

(I took mine out at 20 minutes).

  • 7. Heat up some BBQ sauce for the ribs. When ready to serve slice up ribs for plating and then drizzle some addt'l sauce on top or place some in a bowl for dipping.
  • 8. These ribs were so tender, moist and delicious...the steam cooking really cooked them up fast. I was very impressed with the Ninja.

I've tried many baby back ribs recipes, but this one is by far the best. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was finger-licking good. I highly recommend this recipe!
