About Baked plantains
Baked plantains are a simple and flavorful dish popular in Caribbean, African, and Latin American cuisines. Made by slicing ripe plantains and baking them until golden and tender, this dish highlights the natural sweetness and starchy richness of the fruit. Plantains are a great source of dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, potassium, and complex carbohydrates, making them a nutritious energy boost. Baking, as opposed to frying, reduces the fat content, keeping them heart-healthier while still delivering a caramelized, satisfying taste. However, they are naturally high in sugars when ripe, so they should be enjoyed in moderation, especially for those monitoring blood sugar levels. Gluten-free and versatile, baked plantains can be served as a side dish, snack, or even a dessert when spiced with cinnamon or drizzled with honey. Simple, wholesome, and delicious, baked plantains offer a nutritious way to enjoy this global staple.
