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.
