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. Cut in half cross way, then cut in half-length ways strips. About 8 strips per plantain.

Take a half slice of bacon and wrap it around the middle of each strip, you may add a drop of hot sauce, depending on preference, tuck the ends underneath or use a tooth pick Lay the wrapped plantain on a baking sheet with the bacon seam-side down.Sprinkle with favorite spice mix if desired. Repeat with all the plantains

Line a baking pan with foil; top with a wire rack. Arrange plantains out in a single layer. While the plantains are baking oil will slowly drip to the bottom of the baking pan.

Bake plantains until cooked through and bacon skin is crispy, about 20 minutes-plantains, depending on size of plantain and bacon preference

Remove and serve with your favorite hot sauce or as breakfast
