BAKED PLANTAINS IN A BROWN SUGAR-RUM SAUCE
This is a delicious postre (dessert) from Cuba called Plátanos Dulce (Baked Sweet Plantains). It's easy to toss together, and it's great every time.

Steps:
- 1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Generously butter bottom and sides of an 8×8-inch baking dish; set aside.
- 2. Peel plantains and trim 1/4 inch off both ends. Slice plantains at an angle to make 1/2-inch oval slices. Layer the plantain slices in the bottom of the baking dish, slightly overlapping slices. (You should get 4 to 5 rows, depending on width of the plantains.)
- 3. Mix together the sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle it evenly over the top of the layers. Then drizzle the rum and orange juice over the layers. Distribute the butter pieces evenly on top.
- 4. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the plantains are golden brown and beginning to lose their shape. Cool at least 10 minutes, then serve warm or completely cooled. It's great as is, but you can also top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, for an added touch of sweetness.

[email protected]I've made this recipe a few times and it's always a hit. The plantains are always crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The sauce is also amazing. I usually double the recipe so I have leftovers.

[email protected]This was a very tasty and easy recipe. I loved the flavor, and the plantains were super soft and moist. My only suggestion would be to reduce the amount of brown sugar in the sauce, as it was a bit too sweet for my taste.
