Macadamia Free Cinnamon Baked Plantain Slices

Ripe plantains — the ones with yellow skins gone spotty and black — are nature's candy, and roasting them in the oven takes that natural sweetness somewhere truly special. A quick toss in melted coconut oil, honey, and warm Ceylon cinnamon means every slice goes into the oven already coated in something fragrant and gorgeous. The high heat does the heavy lifting, caramelizing the edges and turning the cut surfaces a deep, burnished gold that looks far more impressive than the effort involved. A pinch of sea salt keeps things balanced, and the optional ground ginger adds a subtle warmth that makes the cinnamon sing even louder. These are completely free of tree nuts — no macadamias, no nut oils, no cross-contact concerns from a bag of trail mix hiding in the pantry. Serve them warm straight from the sheet pan as a side dish, a snack, or even a simple dessert alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
