Best Method
OVEN
Bake 375°F, 20-25 min (maduros).
Ripe plantains caramelize beautifully in oven — hands-off and consistent. Pan frying is equally good but requires attention.
Secondary Method
STOVETOP
Pan fry med-low 3-4 min/side until caramelized.
Pro Tip
The riper (blacker the skin), the sweeter. Should be mostly black for maduros.
