Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Peel the ripe plantains and cut them into diagonal slices, about 1/2 inch thick. Place the plantain slices in a mixing bowl.

  3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, honey, cinnamon, sea salt, and nutmeg until well combined.

  4. Pour the honey mixture over the plantain slices and gently toss them to ensure each slice is evenly coated.

  5. Arrange the plantain slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded.

  6. Bake the plantains in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and caramelized, flipping them halfway through the baking time for even cooking.

  7. Once the plantains are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

  8. Serve the Caribbean Style Baked Plantains warm with fresh lime wedges on the side.
