🦠 Baked Plantains are a Delicious Gut Healthy Snack Idea
Plantains are an excellent source of prebiotics [AKA food your healthy gut bacteria LOVE!] So, why plantains?
They are a wonderful alternative to starchy potatoes. Don't get me wrong, I love a good potato or french fry, but sometimes it's good to change things up and try new foods.
If you haven't tried plantains yet, I think you will fall in love with them. Not only do they contain loads of potassium, like a banana, but they also have magnesium, vitamins C and A too.
The resistant starch is great for gut health and getting in your fiber intake.
These baked plantains with Mojo Verde sauce are mouth-watering - give this recipe a try and let me know what you think!

🥣 Ingredients to Make Baked Plantains with Green Dipping Sauce (Oven Baked Platanos Maduros Recipe)
- Ripe Plantains (yellow) - These are slightly sweet and hold up nicely when baking them in the oven. Never mushy or too soft, but simply just right.
- Olive Oil - This delicious tasting oil is loaded with healthy fats, while still allowing the plantain flavor to shine through in this recipe.
- Sea Salt - A must for flavor enhancement in this easy plantain recipe.
- Garlic - I always use fresh garlic in my sauce recipes.
- Cilantro - This is the key to the mojo verde dipping sauce recipe. However, if you truly hate cilantro, swap for equal parts of fresh parsley.
- Jalepeno Peppers - The spicer, the better, as we say in this household. Feel free to leave out if you hate spice or swap for a bell pepper.

❄️ How to Store Leftover Baked Plantains
I highly doubt you will have any leftovers of this plantain recipe, but just in case you do, I have you covered.
You can store them for up to a week in the fridge in an airtight container. Be sure to store them separately from the mojo verde sauce recipe.
To freeze, simply spread out the baked plantain slices onto a parchment lined tray and freeze for one hour.
Then transfer to a freezer safe container or freezer bag. They will last 3 months frozen.
To reheat, simply spread the slices onto a baking pan and warm in the oven at 325 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes.
