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...
