Oven Baked Plantain

Learn how to prepare your sweet ripe plantains in the oven. A much more healthier alternative to frying them on the stove top. Lightly seasoned with warming spices for additional flavour.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 plantain(s) (yellow, ripeness to your preference (see post))
• olive oil (coconut oil works too!)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 200c/400F/gas mark 6
2. 2Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside
3. 3Use a paring knife to remove the skin from the plantain(s). The easiest way to do that is to cut each end and run the knife less than an inch length ways, so you're left with a horizontal line, peel back the skin and discard.
4. 4Now cut the plantain(s) into diagonal shaped discs about 1/2 inch thick
5. 5Brush the parchment paper with some oil
6. 6Arrange the discs on the baking tray lined with parchment paper being careful not to overcrowd.
7. 7Brush the tops of each plantain with a small amount of oil.
8. 8Bake in the oven for roughly 20 minutes or until slightly brown or golden. Don't forget to turn over half way through.
9. 9Once cooked remove from oven and serve accordingly.
