I love sweet plaintains (maduros). I can eat plates of them until I am sick. The traditional way to cook them is in oil. Is there a healthier way? Possibly baking them? Please help! Thanks!

    Yes, for 6 plaintains,

    Preheat the oven to 400 F. Cut a 2-inch slit in each plantain and warp with aluminum foil. Bake for 40 minutes. Peel the plantains and arrange them on a serving platter. Then, season with salt if desired

    Try this

    BAKED SWEET PLANTAINS A LA DETROIT

    An authentic taste, easy to make!
    1/2 c. Spanish olive oil 1/2 c. brown sugar 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1 c. unsalted white sherry wine
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make sure plantains are black and tender before using! Peel them and slice them lengthwise in half and crosswise in thirds.

    In large saute pan, heat oil to medium. Add plantain slices, cooking them until lightly browned on both sides.

    Place them in a large baking dish and sprinkle with sugar. Add cinnamon and cover with the wine. Bake for 30 minutes or until they are reddish brown. Serves 4.
