Ingredients

2 ripe plantains (yellow with black spots)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the plantains and cut them into 1/2-inch thick diagonal slices.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Place plantain slices on the baking sheet and brush both sides with the butter mixture.
Bake for 15 minutes, then flip slices and brush with remaining butter mixture. Bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden and caramelized.
Serve warm as a side dish or dessert.

Tips

For extra caramelization, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche for a tangy contrast.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven.
