Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe plantains
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Peel the plantains by cutting off the ends and slicing through the peel lengthwise. Remove the peel and slice the plantains diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
Place the plantain slices in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, cinnamon, and salt, and toss until the plantains are evenly coated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the plantain slices on the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring that they do not overlap.
Bake the plantains in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through baking until they are golden brown and tender.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the plantains to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the baked plantains warm as a side dish, snack, or dessert.
