Baked Plantains

In this South Arm Seniors Kitchen, Colleen introduced yet another new ingredient for dessert.

Baked-Plaintains-7

The dessert is Baked Plantains. Plantain cannot be consumed raw. It is used for cooking. When buying plantain, look for those with darken skin which indicate that it’s ripe. Colleen had a hard time finding ripe plantain when she went groceries shopping for the kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 4 large, very ripe (black) plantains
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • pinch of allspice (we substituted with nutmeg)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 2 tablespoons butter
