Kwanzaa Recipes: Oven-roasted Sweet Plantains

[Guest guest]

Oven-roasted Sweet Plantains

Preparation time: 30 minutes

Cooking time: 45 minutes

 

Ingredients:

 

2 or 3 large yellow plantains 1/4 teaspoon ground

nutmeg, allspice or cinnamon

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut off the

tips of the plantains. Place the plantains on a baking

sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the skin is

charred and puffy and the flesh is tender. Take the

plantains out of the oven and let cool for a few

minutes. Slice the plantains down the center

lengthwise and peel back the skin. Cut the plantains

in half (in terms of width), sprinkle with nutmeg and

transfer to serving plates.

 

Servings: 4

 

Cook's notes:

It is important to use ripe yellow plantains for this

recipe. If the plantains are green, store them at room

temperature for 5 to 7 days. Placing the plantains in

a paper bag will expedite the process. Do not

refrigerate them! Plantains are often fried, but

roasting is a healthful and tasty alternative.
