Roasted plantains are a beloved dish in many tropical and subtropical regions, particularly in African, Caribbean, and Latin American cuisines. Made by simply baking or grilling ripe plantains, this dish transforms the naturally starchy fruit into a tender, caramelized treat. Plantains are rich in dietary fiber, potassium, and vitamin C, making them an excellent source of energy and nutrients. They contain complex carbohydrates that support sustained energy levels and are naturally gluten-free. Roasting plantains avoids the use of added fats, making them a healthier option compared to fried variations. However, their natural sugar content increases as they ripen, which means that roasted plantains can be relatively high in sugar. Enjoy them as a nutritious side dish or snack, but for those watching their sugar intake, pairing them with high-protein or fiber-rich foods can help balance their impact on blood sugar levels.
