Legume Free Cinnamon Baked Plantain Slices

Ripe plantains — the ones with yellow skins gone beautifully spotty and black — are nature's candy, and roasting them in the oven takes that natural sweetness somewhere truly special. Each slice gets tossed in melted coconut oil, raw honey, warm Ceylon cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt before hitting a hot oven, so by the time they come out, the edges are caramelized and deeply golden with a slightly firm bite that's almost dessert-like. The optional ground ginger adds a gentle warmth that plays off the cinnamon in the best way. This is the kind of recipe that looks and tastes far more impressive than the effort involved — just slice, toss, and bake. For anyone navigating a legume-free lifestyle, this is a naturally safe treat with zero ingredient gymnastics required; every component here is straightforward and clean. Serve them warm alongside eggs in the morning, as a side to grilled meat, or honestly just straight off the pan as a snack.
