A delightful Caribbean-inspired dessert featuring plantains baked in a citrus glaze, perfect for a sweet and tangy treat.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a baking dish.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Peel the plantains and slice them lengthwise into halves. Arrange the slices in the greased baking dish.
Use ripe plantains for a sweeter flavor and softer texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine honey, the juice and zest of the orange, and salt. Pour this mixture evenly over the plantains.
Zest the orange before juicing it to make the process easier.
Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over the plantains.
Ensure an even coating for consistent flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the plantains are golden and tender.
Check the plantains halfway through to ensure they don't overcook.
Serve the plantains warm, garnished with additional orange zest if desired.
Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
