This baked sweet plantains recipe is quick, simple, and healthy. Add your favorite seasoning blend and you have a delicious snack in less than one hour.
Rinse plantains and wipe dry. To remove the peel, cut the ends first and make a shallow slit and one of the skin's seams. Carefully remove skin and cut about 0.5cm (0.25″) thick. Add pieces to a bowl.
Add oil, salt, and Beau Monde Seasoning, and mix gently until all pieces are well coated. Arrange the plantain slices in a single layer on a nonstick baking/cooking sheet or line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleaning. (spray the pan with cooking spray to avoid sticking)
Bake for 15 minutes, remove from the oven and turn over each piece individually. Continue baking for another 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and place on a plate and enjoy
Notes
Use ripe plantains or yellow plantains only.
Use any variety of seasoning blend you prefer. Check out Noubess.com for seasoning blends.
You can also use salt and pepper if you prefer.
Always make more. Use 1 - 2 plantain per person.
Spray the pan with cooking spray to avoid sticking.
Don't overseason. You still want to taste the natural sweetness of the plantains.
