From Fatfree.com, posted by Jayne Spielman who credits this recipe to a 1998 NY Times article which adapted it from "Uncommon Fruits and Vegetables" by Elizabeth Schneider. Is that credit or what? Unusual but tasty and no fat.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 medium yellowish brown plantains
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (or more)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (or to taste)
salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Trim ends from plantains and cut a slit lengthwise along the plantain.
  • Arrange with slit side up and bake on a pan or cookie sheet for 30-40 minutes or until they are creamy and soft.
  • Remove from oven and let cool until you can remove the peels.
  • Slice into 1/2-inch rounds (or do on diagonal for something a little more interesting) and put in a pie pan or something you can put back in the oven.
  • Sprinkle with lime juice, chili powder, and salt and mix gently.
  • Put back into oven to warm up and help some of the flavors meld.
