Description

Baking instead of frying plantains are a healthier take on the staple.

Ingredients
  • 3 Ripe Plantains (ripe, dark yellow with black spots)
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil or Melted Coconut Oil
  • 1 tsp Salt
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2
    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.
  3. 3
    Slice the plantains on an angle to make longer pieces, 1/4- to 1/3-inch thick.
  4. 4
    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.
  5. 5
    Bake the plantains for 10 minutes. Then flip and bake another 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
