BHA & BHT Free Cinnamon Baked Plantain Slices

Ripe plantains roasted with coconut oil, honey, and warm spices are one of those simple pleasures that feel far more indulgent than the ingredient list suggests. The natural sugars in deeply ripened plantains — those yellow ones with plenty of black spots — caramelize beautifully in a hot oven, creating edges that are golden, slightly crisp, and absolutely irresistible. Every ingredient here is straightforward and whole, which matters a lot when you're trying to avoid synthetic preservatives like BHA and BHT that sneak into so many packaged snacks and cooking oils. Ceylon cinnamon brings a softer, more floral warmth than the common cassia variety, and a touch of honey ties everything together without overpowering the plantain's natural sweetness. The optional ground ginger adds a gentle kick that makes the whole tray smell incredible as it bakes. Serve these warm straight from the oven as a side dish, a snack, or even a light dessert — no dipping sauce required.
