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. That 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 the plantain peel by pulling it back. You can run plantains through hot water to facilitate peeling if they are straight from the fridge.
Cut in half crossways, then cut in half lengthways and cut further into desired uniform strips.
Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and place the plantains in a single layer. You can sprinkle them with the desired amount of jerk seasoning before or after baking.
Bake in a 425℉/220℃ oven for 20 minutes or until slightly brown, turning once.
Add sliced onion to hot oil in a skillet and saute for about a minute.
Then add strips of bell pepper, and saute for another minute. Serve with your plantains.
