Beef Free Cinnamon Baked Plantain Slices
Sweet, caramelized, and fragrant with warm spice, these baked plantain slices are the kind of simple treat that disappears fast. Ripe plantains — the ones with plenty of black spots on the peel — bring a natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with Ceylon cinnamon and a drizzle of honey. Coconut oil helps everything caramelize in the oven, giving each slice those irresistible golden edges and a slightly firm, almost candy-like exterior. A pinch of sea salt and optional ground ginger round out the flavor so it never tips into cloying territory. The whole process is straightforward: toss, arrange, bake, flip, and done. This is a naturally plant-based dish with zero meat of any kind, so it fits effortlessly into meals where you're keeping things light and animal-product-minimal. Serve them warm as a side, a snack, or even a laid-back dessert alongside something creamy.
