Maduros al Horno ( Platano Macho al Horno )

I am from Mexico and in Mexico we call this platano macho al horno, they sell it in the streets and they sprinkle sugar or even condense milk on it if you prefer is a tasty treat. They seem them in fairs or they just go street by street with a very loud whistle, to let us the platano macho are here. Yum!!

My husband is from Ecuador, they call them maduros al horno ( or if you fry them is called maduro fritos) They eat them with their meals juts like in the Caribbean. If you have being to the Caribbean or Latin America you probably had them with your meals. 

This tasty treat is a staple on our home. Whether we eat them by itself or with meals, we all enjoy them. It also bring memories from childhood.

As always my wish is to bring joy into your kitchen, one meal at a time.

Sitting Down with You Family To Eat is the Best way to Enjoy Food.

    Depending on you region you might need to bake them for 10-15 minutes longer.
