Ingredients
- 3 whole ripe plantains
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons cinnamon (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the plantains by cutting off both ends with a sharp knife and making a shallow cut along the length of each plantain. Gently pry open the peel with your fingers to remove it completely.
Step 3
Slice the peeled plantains into diagonal slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced plantains and coconut oil. Toss until the plantains are evenly coated.
Step 5
Arrange the plantain slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even baking.
Step 6
Sprinkle the sea salt (and cinnamon if using) evenly over the plantain slices.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping the plantains halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crisp around the edges.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Paleo Baked Plantains as a side dish or healthy snack!
