Oven Roasted Plantains

Ingredients

Preheat oven to 400 F.
Peel the plantain: slice both ends off, then make a shallow cut along the side, then remove the peel.
Slice into around 0.5 inch pieces. 1 plantain will be 9-12 slices.
Toss the plantains in the coconut oil and arrange them on a baking sheet with a wire rack.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Move each slice onto a cutting board. Using a measuring cup, smash each slice down.
Put them back on the baking sheet and bake for another 15 minutes.
Sprinkle with kosher salt and serve.

For tostones, use unripe green plantains.
If the plantains are more yellow and ripened, switch to a maduros style recipe instead: omit the salt and don't smash them down after 20 minutes. Either way it's good!
