A delightful twist on roasted plantains, featuring a caramelized glaze for added flavor.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Peel the plantains and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
Diagonal slices increase the surface area for caramelization.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon.
Mixing the sugar and cinnamon beforehand ensures even distribution.
Arrange the plantain slices on the baking sheet and brush them lightly with melted butter.
Brushing with butter helps the sugar mixture adhere and promotes caramelization.
Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the plantain slices.
Ensure each slice is evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until golden and caramelized.
Flipping the slices ensures even cooking and caramelization on both sides.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
