Okay, so I'm busted...I have the sweetest sweet tooth that could be imagined by a hoard of sugar-plum fairies...BUT, I convey this recipe for good reason. Most sweet plaintain recipes are loaded with tons of goppy, greasy oil (meaning wanton and pointless calories to boot). While I'm not going to go overboard and pretend that this recipe is healthy, I will suggest that it is a "better bad" and will therefore harm your waistline much less than its oiler cousin.
I give you, "maduros"....oven baked sweet plaintains. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
4 very ripe plantains (when the skin is yellow with spots of black they're perfect)
cooking spray
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Coat a nonstick cookie sheet with cooking spray.
- Cut the ends off of the plantains and peel.
- Cut each plantain on the diagonal into 1/2 inch slices.
- Arrange in single layer and coat tops with cooking spray.
- Bake, turning occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, until plantains are golden brown and very tender.
