Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 4 large Ripe plantains (yellow with black spots)
  • 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice(optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro, chopped(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

  2. 2

    Peel the plantains by cutting off the ends and slicing through the skin lengthwise, then slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds on a diagonal.

  3. 3

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.

  4. 4

    Add the plantain slices to the bowl and toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated with the spice mixture.

  5. 5

    Arrange the plantains in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching so they roast rather than steam.

  6. 6

    Bake for 12-15 minutes, then remove from the oven and carefully flip each slice using a spatula.

  7. 7

    Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and caramelized.

  8. 8

    Remove from the oven, drizzle with fresh lime juice if desired, and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving warm.
