Roast Jerk Plantains- These “Good Guys” here, will sure get you excited about plantains, whether you are a fan or still iffy about plantains. They are healthy – baked not fried, sweet, spicy and a tropical delight. Topped with onions and bell pepper and you have yourself a vegan meal or side if you prefer.

Plantain Jerk

Sometimes you think you know exactly what you want when you head to the kitchen, then again, along the way, something changes in a split second. And then you know exactly what you want. Am I making any sense to you?


Roasted Plantains

 Anyways, that’s what happened here, with these plantains. I wanted to make some simple roasted plantains, knew exactly what I wanted and things changed.

Jamaican Jerk Seasoning

As soon as I saw this jerk seasoning on the counter. Jerk plantains is what am having. And it has been a favorite for a while now. 

 Roast Plantains

I bet you have tried plantains in a number of ways but have never tried it with jerk seasoning right?

 I contemplated for a while what to call these; Jerk plantains? Spicy plantains with bell pepper and onions? Roast plantains? Decisions decisions — what’s a girl to do?

Try pairing it up with these chicken wings right here and you will be dancing like James Brown.

Servings 2 -3

Ingredients

  • 2-3 Plantains
  • Jerk Seasoning adjust according to preference
  • Oil for drizzling

Stir Fried Onions and Bell pepper (optional)

  • ¼ cup oil
  • ½ medium onion
  • 1 Bell pepper green or red

Instructions

  • Using a sharp knife cut both ends off the plantain. This will make it easy to grab the skin of the plantains.
  • Slit a shallow line down the long seam of the plantain; peel only as deep as the peel.
  • Remove plantain peel by pulling it back. If plantains are straight from the fridge, you can run it through hot water, to facilitate peeling
  • Cut in half cross way, then cut in half length ways and cut further into desired uniform strips.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and place the plantains in a single layer.
  • Bake in a 425-degree oven for minutes for 20 minutes or until slightly brown, turning once
  • Add sliced onion in hot oil in a skillet for about one minute.
  • Then add strips of bell pepper

      This was was absolutely delicious! My hubby loves fried ripe plantains, so this gave him the illusion of fried plantains. Thanks Immaculate.

      Immaculate these look absolutely divine! I can’t tell you how many times I step into the kitchen with a plan and then it all goes pear shaped, usually for the better. 🙂 I am a plantain and jerk lover so this sounds like the perfect combo!!

      Oooh! Why have I not thought of roasting veggies with jerk seasoning? BTW, I pretty much always have a jar of your jerk rub in my pantry… 🙂
