MMMM! I love plantains, especially sweet ones. This is a lower fat method of making "maduros" without the use of oil and frying in a pan.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 4 very ripe plantains (when the skin is yellow with spots of black they're perfect)
  • cooking spray

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 450°F.
  2. 2
    Coat a nonstick cookie sheet with cooking spray.
  3. 3
    Cut the ends off of the plantains and peel.
  4. 4
    Cut each plantain on the diagonal into 1/2 inch slices.
  5. 5
    Arrange in single layer and coat tops with cooking spray.
  6. 6
    Bake, turning occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, until plantains are golden brown and very tender.

So good and so easy. Watch them because they will get burn very fast.

    Thank you for the recipe ... Turned out very nicely ... I like the way these turned out much better than frying. Wonderful!

    This was the easiest method I have ever used to cook plaintains and they turned out perfectly each time. I sprinkled the plaintains with allspice, fresh ground cinnamon and a little sea salt.

    These were very good except i would reccomend that the plantains are a little bit more yellow than black, but it worked out great and they were still very tender.
