Oven-Baked Maduros (Sweet Plantains)
This might not look like much of a recipe, but fried sweet plantains are a staple side dish in most Latin countries. Typically lunch consists of rice, steak, and beans plus a side of maduros. Baking them is much easier than frying and it brings out all their natural sugars. The secret here is to use super-ripe plantains. Plantains are one of the better carbs you can consume, because they’re filled with potassium, they can help regulate digestion and boost the immune system, and much more. So go ahead and enjoy them in moderation.
