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).

These ribs were delicious! The sauce was perfect and the ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender. I will definitely be making these again.

These ribs were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
