Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe plantains
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the plantains by cutting off the ends and making a slit down the length of each plantain skin. Use your fingers to peel away the skin.
Step 3
Slice the plantains into 1/4-inch thick diagonal slices for even cooking and a nice presentation.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced plantains with extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Toss until the plantain slices are well coated.
Step 5
Arrange the plantain slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. This helps them roast evenly and turn crispy.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 12 minutes.
Step 7
After 12 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip each plantain slice using a spatula to ensure even cooking on both sides.
Step 8
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 13 minutes or until the plantains are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and transfer the roasted plantains to a serving plate. Serve warm and enjoy these delightful, naturally sweet plantains as a Whole30 compliant snack or side dish.
