- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons unsalted butter
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
Peel the ripe plantains and slice them in half lengthwise.
Arrange the plantain halves cut side up in the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine the dark rum, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
Drizzle the rum mixture evenly over the plantains, ensuring each piece is coated.
Dot the tops of the plantains with small amounts of unsalted butter (about 1/4 teaspoon on each half).
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the plantains are golden brown and tender.
Remove the baked plantains from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
