Paraben Free Cinnamon Baked Plantain Slices

Ripe plantains — the ones with yellow skins gone spotty black — are naturally sweet and almost creamy once they hit a hot oven, and coating them in coconut oil, honey, and warm Ceylon cinnamon takes that sweetness somewhere genuinely special. The caramelized edges get a little firm and sticky while the centers stay soft, making each slice feel like a proper treat rather than a simple side dish. Parabens are synthetic preservatives that sneak into a surprising number of packaged snacks and flavored products, so building a recipe entirely from whole, recognizable ingredients is the cleanest way to sidestep them entirely. Every component here — plantains, coconut oil, raw honey, sea salt, and spice — is exactly what it says it is, with no hidden additives to second-guess. A touch of ground ginger is optional but adds a gentle warmth that plays beautifully off the cinnamon. Serve these straight from the oven while the edges are still caramelized and glossy, whether alongside a savory main or on their own as a snack you'll want to make on repeat.
