OVEN-ROASTED PLANTAINS

Servings: 2 people

Ingredients

  • 2 green plantains (about 400g in total)
  • 2 ½ teaspoons sambar powder
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 sprigs of curry leaves
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180 C.
  • Slice the plantains into ¼ inch rounds (keeping the skin on). Use a knife or a mandoline for slicing.
  • Toss the plantains with sambar powder, curry leaves, coconut oil, and salt. Lay them out on a large baking tray in an even layer without too many overlaps.
  • Bake in the top rack of your oven for 15-20 mins until golden and crispy. Serve immediately.

Notes

Cooking times may vary because of your rack position, so keep an eye out after 15 mins. They may take up to 25-30 mins to get crispy.
There’s some confusion regarding plantains and raw bananas. I’m referring to vazhakkai here.
