Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Plantains

    Peel the ripe plantains and slice them diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces.

  2. 2

    Season the Plantains

    In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Toss the sliced plantains in the seasoning mixture until they are evenly coated.

Wrapping

  1. 3

    Wrap with Bacon

    Take a slice of seasoned plantain and wrap it with a strip of bacon, ensuring it covers the entire piece. Secure the bacon with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat this step for all plantain slices.

Cooking

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 5

    Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Place the bacon-wrapped plantains on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are not touching.

  3. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. Turn the plantains halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness.

Serving
