BAKED PLANTAINS

Steps:

• You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.Preheat the oven 400° F (205° C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray it lightly with cooking spray and set aside.
• Remove the peel of the plantains. If they are yellow with dark spots and overripe you will be able to peel them like a banana. If they aren't too ripe (yellow without spots), you will need to cut off the ends, then carefully cut through the skin lengthwise with a knife and remove the peel. Slice plantains diagonally into 1/3-inch (0.8 cm) thick slices.
• In a bowl, toss together the plantain slices, oil, and spices. Spread the plantain slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until plantains are golden-brown, about 20-25 minutes, flip once after about 15 minutes. Depending on the ripeness of the plantains the baking time might be a bit shorter or longer.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 F (218 C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

• Place the sliced plantains on the prepared baking sheet and toss with oil and salt (optional).
• Bake for 10 minutes, then flip and bake for another 5-10 minutes or until golden brown and slightly caramelized on both sides.
• They're delicious paired with our Easy Vegan Picadillo, Smoky Instant Pot Black Eyed Peas & Greens, Black Bean Plantain Vegan Bowls, Jamaican Jerk Grilled Eggplant (30 Minutes!), or either of the sauces recommended above.
