4 medium yellowish black plantains
1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice, more to taste
1/2 teaspoon pure mild chili powder, more to taste
2 1/2 tablespoons butter

Peel plantains, and cut them into 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. Place in ovenproof serving dish. Sprinkle with lime juice and chili powder, and dab with butter. Season with salt. Toss gently. Return to oven, and heat through, about 10 minutes. Serve.
