Fried sweet plantains, or maduros, are an essential part of any Caribbean plate. Be sure to start with very ripe plantains that have black skins with perhaps only a few yellow spots.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Uncooked plantain

2 large, overripe with black skins, peeled and sliced diagonally into ¾-inch-thick medallions

Ground ginger

1 tsp

Ground cinnamon

½ tsp

Kosher salt

½ tsp, plus more for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange plantains in a single layer on pan. Spray plantains with nonstick spray and sprinkle with spices and 1⁄2 tsp salt, pressing so spices adhere. Cover pan tightly with foil. Bake until plantains are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. (Alternatively, cook plantains in air fryer: Spray air-fryer basket with nonstick spray. Cook plantains in air fryer at 400°F for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. You will most likely need to cook plantains in batches.)
  2. Remove foil from pan. Turn on broiler. Cook plantains, turning once, until charred in spots with some crispy edges, 7 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly. Sprinkle with salt before serving.
  3. Serving size: 2 pieces

Notes

Serve alongside a plate of rice and beans, or with any grilled protein.
