Continuing with my quest to eat healthier foods, I was craving some plantains, but didn’t want to fry them. So, naturally, the other options for cooking plantains include, boiling, baking or oven-roasting them (boli.. this is a Nigerian snack that is roasted on a grill and eaten with ground nuts).
I decided to bake them, this was my first time of doing this, and it turned out good, but you could definitely detect a difference between baked and fried plantains. The baked plantains didn’t have the same delectable sweetness that comes with frying (I guess because it was missing out on all that greasy goodness). All the same though, I’d make it again, maybe with more seasonings. For directions & more, keep reading!
