Instructions

1. Prepping plantains

Peel the plantains and cut into halves. Stick 3 cloves into each half.

2. Browning plantains

Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Cook the plantains, rotating until they turn golden brown.

3. Baking

Once browned, place in a baking pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon and add ¼ cup of water (be careful with splatters!). Cover tightly with aluminum foil.Bake in the oven preheated to 350 ºF [175 ºC] for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, check for doneness (careful not to burn yourself), and cover and return to the oven for another 5 minutes if they're not cooked-through (it varies depending on how ripe the plantains are).

4. Serving

Serve while still warm, drizzle with the leftover liquid from the pan.

Notes

The plantains need to be very ripe for this dish, the peel should be mostly black and the plantains just a bit mushy inside.
You may sprinkle the plantains with a pinch of salt before serving if you wish, but I found I liked them without it.
