Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel the plantains and cut into about ½-inch diagonal slices or long strips.
- Arrange the plantains in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with melted butter or oil, if using.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until soft, golden, and caramelized around the edges.
- Let cool slightly and serve warm.
Notes
- Choose ripe plantains with yellow skins and black spots. They should be ripe but still slightly firm so the slices hold their shape while baking. The riper the plantains, the sweeter and softer they will be after baking.
- Add a pinch of salt when pairing them with savory dishes, or a little cinnamon when you want them sweeter.
- To air fry, cook at 375°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Storage: Store leftover baked plantains in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer until warmed through and the edges begin to crisp slightly.
