Sesame Free Cinnamon Baked Plantain Slices

Ripe plantains — the ones with yellow skins gone spotty black — are nature's candy, and roasting them with coconut oil, honey, and warm spices turns them into something genuinely special. The Ceylon cinnamon brings a softer, more floral heat than the common variety, and paired with a whisper of ginger, it makes the whole kitchen smell incredible while these are in the oven. Every slice gets tossed in that fragrant coating before hitting the pan, so the caramelization is even and the edges come out slightly crisp while the centers stay tender and jammy. The ingredient list is refreshingly short and completely free of sesame in any form — no oils, no seeds, no hidden pastes — which makes this a genuinely stress-free treat to pull together. It works beautifully as a side dish alongside rice and beans, a topping for oatmeal or yogurt, or honestly just eaten warm straight off the baking sheet. Simple, naturally sweet, and deeply satisfying.
