Yeast Free Cinnamon Baked Plantain Slices

Ripe plantains — the ones with yellow skins gone beautifully spotty and black — are naturally sweet and starchy, making them an ideal canvas for warm spice and a drizzle of honey. Tossed in melted coconut oil with Ceylon cinnamon, a pinch of sea salt, and optional ground ginger, these slices go into a hot oven and come out deeply golden, caramelized at the edges, and absolutely irresistible. Every single ingredient here is whole and straightforward, so there's no need to scan labels for hidden fermented additives or worry about yeast sneaking in through processed sauces or condiments. The two-stage bake — flip halfway through — is the secret to getting that gorgeous color and slightly firm caramelized crust on both sides. Serve them warm as a snack, a naturally sweet side dish, or even alongside eggs for a satisfying breakfast that feels a little indulgent without any of the usual compromise.
