Notes

These baked plantains will have mild natural sweetness. If you prefer it sweeter, drizzle some honey, agave syrup, or any other sweetener of choice, once the plantains are baked.
Instead of vegetable oil, coconut oil can also be used. That will be a healthier version too.
To make it savory, replace cinnamon with salt and pepper.
