Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe plantains
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the plantains by cutting off the ends and making a slit down the length of each plantain skin. Use your fingers to peel away the skin.
Slice the plantains into 1/4-inch thick diagonal slices for even cooking and a nice presentation.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced plantains with extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Toss until the plantain slices are well coated.
Arrange the plantain slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. This helps them roast evenly and turn crispy.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 12 minutes.
After 12 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip each plantain slice using a spatula to ensure even cooking on both sides.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 13 minutes or until the plantains are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove from the oven and transfer the roasted plantains to a serving plate. Serve warm and enjoy these delightful, naturally sweet plantains as a Whole30 compliant snack or side dish.
