Ingredients
- 3 ripe plantains (dark yellow with black spots)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the ends off each plantain and score the peels from end to end, making sure not to cut through the plantains. Pull the peels off and discard.
- Slice the plantains on an angle to make longer pieces, 1/4- to 1/3-inch thick.
- Pile the plantain slices on the baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Toss to coat all the plantain strips on both sides. Lay them out in a single layer. Then sprinkle generously with salt.
- Bake the plantains for 10 minutes. Then flip and bake another 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes
- Want to spice things up? Try adding cinnamon and nutmeg to the plantains. Or make a spicy-hot version with a sprinkling of cumin, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder.
