Notes
Plantains - The riper the plantains, the softer and sweeter they will be. It's the same as Bananas, how firm or sweet do you like them?
I personally prefer medium ripe plantains or bananas with no black spots on them.
Oil - I used Sunflower oil in this recipe, but feel free to substitute with Avocado oil, Rapeseed oil or any other oil of choice. You can use an oil spray to apply thin coats on both sides before baking in the oven.
Ground Mixed Spice - This is optional. I use them sparingly as they complement the plantain perfectly in my opinion. Feel free to leave them out and it'll taste just as great.
