Pistachio Free Cinnamon Baked Plantain Slices

Ripe plantains — the ones with yellow skins gone spotty 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, honey, Ceylon cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt before hitting a hot oven, where the edges caramelize into something golden and almost jammy. A touch of ground ginger in the mix adds a subtle warmth that makes the whole thing feel a little more complex without any extra effort. The ingredient list is short, straightforward, and completely free of tree nuts — no cross-contamination concerns hiding in a spice blend or a fancy glaze. This is the kind of side dish or snack that works just as well alongside a savory dinner as it does as a laid-back dessert. Flipping the slices halfway through is the one small step that makes a big difference, giving you deep color and that slightly firm, caramelized crust on both sides. Serve them warm straight from the pan and watch them disappear fast.
