Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Cut the ends off each plantain and score the peels from end to end, making sure not to cut through the plantains. Pull the peels off and discard.
-
Slice the plantains on an angle to make longer pieces, 1/4- to 1/3-inch thick.
-
Pile the plantain slices on the baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Toss to coat all the plantain strips on both sides. Lay them out in a single layer. Then sprinkle generously with salt.
-
Bake the plantains for 10 minutes. Then flip and bake another 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
