Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe plantains
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Peel the plantains and slice them lengthwise into thin, flat strips. Aim for about 4-5 strips per plantain, depending on the size.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Lay each plantain strip flat on a clean surface. Brush one side of the strip with the honey-cinnamon mixture using a pastry brush.
Roll each plantain strip into a neat roll (honey-coated side inward) and secure with a toothpick or place seam-side down to hold its shape.
Arrange the rolls in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are snug but not overlapping. Drizzle the remaining honey-cinnamon mixture over the rolls.
Optionally, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the rolls for added texture and flavor.
Bake the plantain rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and caramelized.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks if used.
Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or sweet treat. Enjoy the flavors of the Caribbean!
