I’m going to show you How to Bake Buttermilk Plantains and what a great side dish or appetizer these tasty little chunks of goodness are.

How to Bake Buttermilk Plantains:

A change from the commonly served side dishes and what a delicious snack – quick to prepare and nutritious.

Type: Side Dish or Appetizer

Prep Time: 5 min
Bake Time: 15 – 20 min
Yield: 4 servings

The ingredients & instructions are listed below the video for measurements & directions. Please enjoy this webisode of Cooking with Kimberly:

Ingredients:

• 3 ripe plantains
• 6 – 8 tbsp of breadcrumbs or cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 3 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp ground mustard
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp hot smoked paprika – I use La Chinata Hot Smoked Paprika.
• dash cumin
• dash gumbo file – I use Royal Command gumbo File.

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
2. Prepare crumb mixture by adding to the crumbs brown sugar, mustard, salt, pepper, hot smoked paprika, cumin and gumbo file. Combine mixture thoroughly.
3. Peel plantains and cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks.
4. Dunk plantain chunks into buttermilk making sure to coat them well.
5. Dredge plantain chunks with bread crumb mixture to coat them.
6. Arrange on a baking sheet that has been lined with a silicone sheet or parchment paper to avoid sticking to the cooking sheet. Allow to stand for a few minutes so the crumbs can better attach to the plantains and dry a little.
7. Bake in 325 degree F oven for about 15 – 20 min and they are a golden brown.

The plantains are ever so attractive, served on this day, with Southern Braised Pork Button Bones and Spanish rice.

What a lovely addition to your Cinco de Mayo table or any other time. You are sure to be pleased that you learned how to bake Buttermilk Plantains.
