High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Cinnamon Baked Plantain Slices

Ripe plantains are naturally sweet on their own, and when you roast them with a drizzle of honey and a dusting of warm spices, the result is something genuinely special — caramelized edges, tender centers, and a fragrance that fills the whole kitchen. For anyone trying to avoid high fructose corn syrup, this kind of recipe is a breath of fresh air, because so many packaged snacks and sweetened sides sneak it in where you'd least expect it. Here, the sweetness comes entirely from the plantains themselves and a small spoonful of real honey, so you know exactly what you're eating. Ceylon cinnamon adds a delicate, almost floral warmth that pairs beautifully with the natural sugars in the fruit as they deepen and concentrate in the oven. A touch of coconut oil helps everything caramelize without burning, and the optional ground ginger gives the whole thing a subtle, pleasant kick. These are wonderful as a side dish, a snack, or even a simple dessert — no syrupy shortcuts required.
