Roasted Sweet Plantains
By: Sarah_Jayne
Jun 2, 2008
I first had plantains when I moved to the UK and to an area that has a large Caribbean and Nigerian population. They are yummy and sort of like a banana but not exactly as they need to be cooked. This is a really easy way of trying out plantains without being afraid of what to do with them. You don't really need the cooking spray but it wouldn't let me post a recipe with just one ingredient.
SERVES 4
Ingredients
- 4 plantains, in their skins
- cooking spray
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.2
Place the plantains in their skins on a baking sheet or in a roasting pan and allow to roast for 20-25 minutes, or until soft but not mushy.3
Remove from the oven, split the skins and serve immediately.

I actually dont want to give a star review for this either. i went to the store and got a couple plantains. i've never tried them before so i wanted to try this recipe cause its so simple!! but when i made them they were really bad.... turns out my mom told me my plantains weren't ripe yet! they were still green and i just didnt even take that into account before making them!!! so i totally messed up my plantains and didnt really get to try them out the way they are supposed 2 be! but this is a very very simple method and i'm sure they taste great when they are ripe!!! :P made for zwt4

So easy! If you liked baked or cooked bananas you will like this! Plantains are NOT bananas but when black or yellow/brown with lots of black spots- the semi sweet flavor has a touch of banana like taste. They are starchier - like a potato and stay firmer when cooked unlike a banana. This made a fast and energizing breakfast which I drizzled with a little honey. Made for ZWT

Well, I am not leaving any stars because I just found out that I don't like plantains, lol. I am sure this recipe is a great one for those of you who enjoy. Made for the Babes of ZWT4.
