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

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

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