Baked Coconut Plantains

By Chez_Alexander

Seek out sweet, ripe plantains for this recipe, ones whose skins are heavily mottled with black spots. Plantains that are green or yellow, with little to no dark spots, will be quite starchy and are not ideal here.

Ingredients

• 4 very ripe plantains, diagonally sliced
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon flaked sea salt

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 400°F with rack 6 inches from heat.

2. Toss together plantain slices, oil, and kosher salt; spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast at 400°F until plantains are lightly golden on bottom, about 15 minutes. Turn slices over, and continue roasting until evenly cooked and soft, about 15 minutes. Increase oven temperature to broil, and broil until deeply golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with flaked salt; serve warm.

Makes 8 servings.
