I experimented with making sweet baked plantains, because my awesome Bermudian plantains were already yellow when I bought them. I topped them with lots of spices and a drizzle of maple syrup…
Maple Spiced Baked Plantains
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cup plaintains, ripened until the skin is black
- pinch cinnamon
- pinch ground ginger
- pinch nutmeg
- pinch allspice
- pinch ground cardamom
- 1 tbsp maple syrup, approx
Instructions
- Heat your oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees F.
- Peel and slice the plantains, laying them on a baking sheet. I lined mine with parchment because I didn't want the plantains taking up any flavors from the sheet and I didn't want to have to scrub off baked maple syrup.
- Sprinkle the slices with as much of the spices as you like - I did a light dusting of each. Then drizzle the maple syrup on top and put the sheet in the oven. I also mixed the spices with the syrup a bit, to make sure they got moistened.
- Let the plantains cook until they're soft and warmed through. They would be excellent on top of some frozen banana ice cream...
