Categories     Side     Roast     Plantain

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 fully ripe plantains, peeled and halved lengthwise
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper, or more to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lime

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Sprinkle the plantains with salt and cayenne; drizzle with the oil to coat. Arrange, cut sides down, on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until the cut sides of the plantains begin to caramelize, about 20 minutes. Turn the plantains; roast 10 minutes more.
  • Mash the hot plantains on the baking sheet with a potato masher until somewhat smooth (some large chunks should remain). Transfer to a serving bowl, and drizzle with the lime juice.
