Baked Banana Plantain With Bacon And Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Place the whole bananas or plantains on a baking sheet and bake, turning them every 10 minutes, until the peel starts to split and the inside is tender when tested with a skewer, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven but keep on the baking sheet. Carefully slice the peel lengthwise to just reveal the flesh and drizzle with some crema and sprinkle with cheese. Transfer to plates to serve individually, on a platter, or directly on the baking sheet on the table. Either way, people should carve out their own banana. Serve the remaining crema and cheese in bowls on the side, in case anyone wants more.

Steps:

• Heat grill to low heat.
• Grill plantains 15 to 20 min. or until blackened and softened, turning frequently.
• Trim ends of plantains; remove peels. Diagonally cut each plantain into 8 slices.
• Serve topped with remaining ingredients.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°, cut the ends of the plantains and peel.
• Place them in a baking dish and brush with the butter, bake for 30 to 40 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and slice the plantains lengthwise but not all the way through, stuff them with cheese slices and wrap with bacon.
• Return to the oven and bake 10 more minutes until the cheese melts and the bacon is cooked.
• Chimichurri or cilantro pesto to serve.
