How to Make Baked Plantains Cooking Bananas
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Peel 3-4 ripe plantains (slightly green to yellow are fine) and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- Arrange plantain slices in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of ground cinnamon.
- Bring the syrup mixture to a slow boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to a syrupy consistency (about 10-15 minutes).
- Pour the warm syrup evenly over the arranged plantain slices.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the plantains are tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
