How to Make Roasted Plantains

  2. Lightly coat a shallow baking pan (approximately 9x13 inches) with non-stick cooking spray or 1 tablespoon of butter/oil.
  3. Slice each plantain in half lengthwise, then into 5-6 sections, depending on size.
  4. Remove the peel from the plantain pieces.
  5. Arrange plantain pieces in a single layer in the prepared baking pan.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of fresh orange juice evenly over the plantain pieces.
  7. Sprinkle evenly with 2 tablespoons of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until tender and caramelized, achieving a slightly darkened exterior.
