Steps:
- You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.Preheat the oven 400° F (205° C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray it lightly with cooking spray and set aside.
- Remove the peel of the plantains. If they are yellow with dark spots and overripe you will be able to peel them like a banana. If they aren't too ripe (yellow without spots), you will need to cut off the ends, then carefully cut through the skin lengthwise with a knife and remove the peel. Slice plantains diagonally into 1/3-inch (0.8 cm) thick slices.
- In a bowl, toss together the plantain slices, oil, and spices. Spread the plantain slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until plantains are golden-brown, about 20-25 minutes, flip once after about 15 minutes. Depending on the ripeness of the plantains the baking time might be a bit shorter or longer.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- For the baked bananas: Cut the bananas in half length wise, then into about 3-inch pieces. Place the pieces of each banana on a square of aluminum foil. Top each pile of bananas with 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1/2 tablespoon butter, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (sprinkle evenly with your fingers), and one pinch kosher salt. Fold over the top of each piece of aluminum foil and fold in the sides to create a packet. Place the packets in the oven and bake for 12 minutes.
- For the toasted coconut: Meanwhile, toast the shredded coconut in a small dry skillet, stirring constantly for several minutes until it browns. When the coconut is just starting to become browned, remove from the heat and continue stirring, taking care as it burns quite easily.
- For the vanilla yogurt (optional): Make the vanilla yogurt by stirring together the Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon maple syrup and vanilla.
- To serve, place baked bananas in serving dishes. Top with a dollop of vanilla yogurt (or coconut whipped cream or vanilla ice cream), and toasted coconut.
COCONUT BANANA PANCAKES
Easy and yummy! Banana pancakes from scratch, with the perfect coconut syrup. My family absolutely loves them! I usually have to triple the recipe! It took me forever to find a good banana pancake recipe I like. It took me even longer to find coconut syrup I liked. This syrup is great because it doesn't have any of the coconut shavings in it. So kids will like it!

From the Caribbean...a deliciously sweet way to fix plaintains, also known as cooking bananas. Plaintains are sweet and soft when their skins are almost black! But in this recipe, with the sugary syrup, you can use fruit not quite at this point! YUM!
