Shellfish Free Cinnamon Baked Plantain Slices

Sweet, caramelized, and fragrant with warm spice, these baked plantain slices are the kind of simple treat that disappears fast. Ripe plantains — the ones with yellow skins covered in black spots — bring a natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with Ceylon cinnamon and a drizzle of honey, all rounded out by a whisper of sea salt. Coconut oil helps the edges caramelize in the oven, giving each slice those irresistible golden, slightly crisp borders while the centers stay soft and tender. The optional ground ginger adds a gentle kick that makes the whole thing feel a little more complex without any extra effort. This is a naturally wholesome dish built entirely from pantry staples and fresh fruit, so there's zero guesswork about what's in it — no sauces, no marinades, nothing that could sneak in unwanted ingredients. Serve them warm as a snack, a side dish alongside rice and beans, or even as a dessert topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
