How To Grill Plantains

Ingredients

  • 3 Ripe Plantains
  • 2 Tablespoons Oil (your choice)

Instructions

  1. I used 3 plantains but you can use as little/many as you want.


     Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F

  2. Cut both ends of each plantain, and slit down from one end to the other with a sharp knife.

  3. Peel off the skin, and rub oil over the plantains to avoid sticking to the oven rack.

     This step you can cut each plantain into two lengthwise or leave it as a whole. Also, you can sprinkle salt over the plantains but I don't add salt especially if it's a ripe plantain. If the unripe you need to season with salt.

  4. Make sure your oven rack is clean, gently place each plantain over the rack and bake for 10-15 minutes on each side. If you don't care about the mark on the plantain you can just turn the oven to broil, but if you want the mark gently flip.

  5.  Sometimes the grilling time is tricky because if you're using semi-ripe plantain it might dry out quickly and if you're using very ripe plantain it might not be done at the end of 10 minutes mark. So, you might want to consider that.

  6. You can serve the plantains with basically anything, stew, fish, guacamole, beef sauce, with fried eggs, peanuts.
