Baked Plantains for Dessert

Platano Macho al Horno

Recipe Yield

2 to 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe plantains
  • Sweetened condensed milk to your liking or honey, sugar, ice cream or rompope

To Prepare

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Individually wrap the plantains, with their skin on, in aluminum foil and place in a baking sheet in the oven (some people bake them without the aluminum foil, you can try it both ways).
  • Bake for about 25 minutes, until plantains are completely cooked through, very soft and sugar has begun to caramelize. Carefully open up the foil making a slit down the middle, open it up, and pour the condensed milk on top.
