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.

rock on. Don't go too skimpy on the oil. The plantains will get dry. very good though

I didn't bother to cut the plantains on the diagonal. I cut them in half crosswise then in half lengthwise. This is healthier but just as yummy as pan-fried. Plantains hold their own without a lot of other fluff and stuff (ingredients). Thanks for sharing, Ang!! cg

Absolutely amazing. I've had deep fried plantains from various places but I never even thought to bake them. Yummy and fairly healthy too! I've tried them with and without both sweet and savory seasoning and I just can't seem to come up with a combination that beats the taste of them plain. I find that with my oven 440 for 5 minutes on each side works out great.

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

Try this variation: cut the plantains lenghtwise (hot dog style) fill with guava paste and cheese (mozarella). This is a colombian recipe. To serve cut in quarters. Warning: let it cool for a little bit guava paste (bocadillo) will be lava paste for the first 5 min.

Delicious and easy! I cut each plantain in half and then lengthwise into four strips. I sprayed each strip with plenty of oil on both sides as per other reviewers' suggestions and baked them for 15 minutes turning them once. Excellent and easy, healthier and not as messy as frying them in a skillet.

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

very easy and very tasty! There's no reason to take the effort to fry them when you can make them this good baked.
