Turmeric Free Cinnamon Baked Plantain Slices

Ripe plantains are already sweet and creamy on their own, but roasting them at high heat with coconut oil and honey takes them somewhere truly special — think caramelized edges, a tender center, and a warm spiced aroma that fills the whole kitchen. Ceylon cinnamon does the heavy lifting here, bringing a delicate, floral warmth that pairs beautifully with the natural sugars in the fruit as they deepen and concentrate in the oven. A pinch of sea salt and optional ground ginger round everything out without overpowering the simplicity of the dish. For anyone navigating a turmeric-free lifestyle, this kind of naturally vibrant, golden-colored recipe is a genuine find — no yellow spice needed to make something look and taste this good. The coating comes together in one bowl, the slices bake in a single layer, and flipping them halfway through is the only real technique involved. Serve them warm as a side dish, a snack, or even a light dessert alongside something cool and creamy. Once you taste how caramelized plantains get with just a handful of pantry staples, this one is going straight into regular rotation.
