How to Make Baked Ripe Plantains
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Select 3-4 ripe plantains that are very yellow with some black spots. Cut off the ends and peel them like a banana.
- Slice the plantains diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces.
- **Optional Marinade:** In a small bowl, combine grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped chili pepper (or red pepper flakes), olive oil, and salt. Mix well.
- **Optional:** If using the marinade, toss the plantain slices in the mixture and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to an hour for maximum flavor).
- Arrange the plantain slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until both sides are golden brown and slightly caramelized.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately. Enjoy!
