Instructions for:
easy Chiquita Baked Sweet Plantains Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. If desired for easier clean up, line a large casserole or baking dish with non-stick foil. Peel plantains and slice in half lengthwise. Place cut-side up in baking dish. Melt butter. (If using milk scald the milk with the butter, just until the butter melts.) Combine butter with remaining ingredients and spoon half of mixture over plantains. Cover baking dish with lid or foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove cover, turn plantains over and baste with remaining butter and sugar mixture in pan. Return to oven and bake, uncovered for 15 more minutes until plantains are very soft and golden brown. Cool slightly and serve plantains with some of the caramelized sugar and butter from the baking dish.
