Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe plantains
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon coconut sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the plantains by cutting off both ends and making a shallow slice along the plantain's length. Gently remove the peel.
Step 3
Cut the plantains diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices to maximize surface area for caramelization.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the plantain slices, olive oil, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Toss well to ensure the plantains are evenly coated.
Step 5
Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping for even roasting.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 10 minutes.
Step 7
After 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and use a spatula to flip each plantain slice.
Step 8
Return the plantains to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with fresh lime juice.
Step 10
Sprinkle with coconut sugar while still warm for a touch of natural sweetness.
Step 11
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these roasted plantains as a side dish or as a tasty snack!
