Sweet Plantain wedges
This seasoned oven baked sweet plantain wedges are the perfect appetizer for your next gathering. They come together in no time and should be served right out of the oven.
Equipment
- Convection oven or Air fryer
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe plantains
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat convection oven to 400
- Peel plantains. Cut in half, then slice each half into four wedges. Wedges should be about 1/2 inch thick and about 3 inches long
- Drizzle avocado oil and rub to completely coat plantains. Mix your spices in a bowl and then add to plantains. Rub well to ensure plantains are evenly coated
- Place wedges on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Do not crowd.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until brown. Carefully flip plantains halfway through baking.
- Once ready, let cook slightly and enjoy warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Baking for too long and at a too low of a temperature will cause the plantains to be chewy. This can be okay if the plantains are slightly overripe but if they are just ripe it might be a little to tough for some.
Plantains should be slightly over ripe with some black spot on the skin. They should also feel a little soft when you try to gently apply pressure when holding.
