Instructions
Pre heat the oven to 375-400 degrees. place a foil wrapper onto a baking sheet and coat with the tsp of oil.
Cut both ends of the plantain with a knife; then slit the skin of the plantain(only as deep as the skin goes) and peel.
place the plantain onto the sheet and into the oven. Bake for about 10-15minutes on each side. Once done, Sprinkle on a little salt if using and set aside to cool.
