Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 fully ripe plantains, peeled and halved lengthwise
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper, or more to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lime

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle plantains with salt and cayenne; drizzle with oil to coat. Arrange, cut sides down, on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until cut sides of plantains begin to caramelize, about 20 minutes. Turn plantains; roast 10 minutes more.
  • Mash hot plantains on baking sheet with a potato masher until somewhat smooth (some large chunks should remain). Transfer to a serving bowl, and drizzle with lime juice.

I'm a vegan, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. It was delicious!

I'm allergic to coconut, so I used almond milk instead of coconut milk. It was still very good.

I only had one ripe plantain on hand, so I used half a cup of mashed potatoes to make up the difference. It turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my mashed plantains turned out mushy. I think I might have cooked them for too long.

These mashed plantains are a great side dish for any meal. They're also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I added some black beans and corn to my mashed plantains, and it was a delicious combination. I think you could add any kind of beans or vegetables that you like.

I made these mashed plantains with green plantains instead of ripe plantains, and they turned out great! They had a slightly firmer texture, but they were still very flavorful.

These mashed plantains were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

Mashed plantains are a great way to use up leftover plantains if you have any on hand. This recipe is very easy to cook.

I've tried many mashed plantain recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The addition of coconut milk and spices really takes it to the next level. I highly recommend this recipe.

I made these mashed plantains for a party last weekend, and they were a huge hit with the guests. They were even more delicious the next day, so I recommend making them ahead of time if you can.

These mashed plantains were absolutely delicious! The combination of sweet and savory flavors was perfect, and the texture was creamy and smooth. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
