Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe plantains
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the plantains by cutting off both ends, making a shallow cut along the length of each plantain, and carefully removing the peel.
Slice the peeled plantains diagonally into pieces approximately 1/2 inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the plantain slices with olive oil and sea salt, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Arrange the plantain slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the plantains in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, then flip each piece over and continue roasting for an additional 10 minutes until they are golden brown and caramelized.
Remove the plantains from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the roasted plantains warm as a side dish or snack, and enjoy!
