Lactose Free Cinnamon Baked Plantain Slices

Ripe plantains are already nature's candy, and roasting them with coconut oil, honey, and warm Ceylon cinnamon turns them into something genuinely special. The natural sugars in those yellow-black plantains caramelize in the oven, creating edges that are slightly crisp while the centers stay soft and almost custardy. Coconut oil does all the heavy lifting here in place of butter, so the whole dish comes together without a drop of dairy — no substitutions needed, no compromise on richness. A pinch of sea salt keeps things from tipping too sweet, and the optional ground ginger adds a gentle warmth that makes every bite feel a little more complex. Flipping the slices halfway through is the small step that makes a big difference, giving you that deep golden color on both sides. Serve them warm as a side dish, a snack, or even a simple dessert — they're the kind of thing that disappears fast no matter how you plate them.
