Loved this recipe! I had bought a bunch of plaintains for another, more time-consuming recipe,but didn't have time to make it. Saw this one and figured why not. I even introduced someone to plaintains with this, and they ate most of the dish. The only addition I made was to add a tbs. of melted guava jelly to half of the pan (the other half got eaten immediately by DH). Either way, they were very good. Nice and easy, too.

I never tried plantains before this recipe and didn't know what to expect. I loved them! Very sweet and they were a hit with other family members. Make sure your plantains are fully ripe and yellow, though. I cooked one that had a little green spot and those pieces definitely weren't as tender as the rest.

These little morsels were incredible Sue. I enjoyed them so much. I let them roast for 40 minutes. The orange juice, sugar and cinnamon glazed the plantains perfectly. What a taste treat. I love plantains and am always looking for new ways to cook them. Thank you so much for sharing this treat. :)

Was going to make only half a recipe, but changed my mind & went 'whole hog' & am so glad I did ~ These are SO TASTY! I did add a couple of things, though ~ a couple of teaspoons of orange zest along with the OJ, & when they came out of the oven, I topped half of them with some homemade hot fudge just 'cause I liked the idea of chocolate & orange & plantain! Both versions were great! [Made & reviewed while on tour in South & Central America with the Zaar World Tour 4]

This is the first time I made plantains. This was a very simple recipe, so I gave it a try. WOW, they are delicious!! I put them, while still warm, on top of vanilla ice cream. Fantastic!!
