Ingredients
- 2 plantain see notes, very ripe
- 12 cloves
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
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.
