Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F
Rinse plantains and wipe dry. To remove the peel, cut the ends first and make a shallow slit along one of the seams of the skin. Carefully remove skin and cut about 0.5cm (0.25") thick. Add pieces to a bowl. Add oil, salt and pepper (if using) and stir until all pieces are well coated. Arrange the plantains slices in a single layer on a nonstick baking/cooking sheet or a line a baking sheet for easier cleaning.
Bake for 15 minutes, remove from oven and turn over each piece individually. Continue baking for another 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and place on plate and enjoy.
Notes
You can substitute olive oil with cooking spray oil. The baking dish must be sprayed before placing plantains slices. Also slightly coat the slices with the cooking oil spray to avoid dryness and for a golden color. Line the baking dish or cookie sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleaning.
