Preheat your oven to 350°F (175° C )

Peel and slice your plantains and arrange on a foil lined baking sheet. Add a few pats of butter, however much you like, season with salt and bake for approximately 30 mins, or until browned and soft all the way through. You’ll probably want to turn them about halfway through to make sure they cook evenly.

Next up, add lots of chopped garlic and butter to a cold pan. Place over medium-low heat and let everything cook just until the garlic starts to get slightly browned and you can smell it. Be sure to heat it up slowly, you don’t want to burn your garlic here.

Then, when those plantains are all cooked, add them to your serving plate, top with lots of that garlic butter and a good scattering on cilantro. Eat up!
