We used extremely ripe plantains for this preparation. This is our favorite baked plantain recipe.
We seasoned lightly with salt before placing the baking sheet in the oven. We also followed the suggestion to broil the plantains towards the end for added caramelization. http://www.natashalh.com/oven-baked-sweet-plantains-healthier-platanos-maduros/ (Apr. 2016)
We typically used canola oil to coat the plantain slices. But this time, we tried coating the slices with coconut oil, and the outcome was delicious with a nice, crispy outer crust and a tender interior. (Sept. 2025)
