Rice 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. Coconut oil and honey help the slices caramelize into deeply golden rounds with edges that are just slightly firm while the centers stay soft and tender. Ceylon cinnamon brings a gentler, more floral warmth than the standard stuff, and a pinch of sea salt pulls the whole thing together so it never tips into cloying. This is the kind of dish that works as a snack, a side, or even a simple dessert — versatile enough to show up at any meal. For anyone navigating grain-free eating, plantains are a genuinely satisfying alternative that delivers real substance without leaning on any rice-based filler or starch. The ingredient list is short, the technique is straightforward, and the results look and taste like you put in far more effort than you actually did. Serve them warm straight from the pan and watch them disappear.
