Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and whilst it's boiling wrap your plantain in foil. When your water is bubbling add your foil wrapped plantain and leave it to boil on a medium heat for 30 minutes or when you unwrap the foil you can pierce it with a fork smoothly.

Cover your plantain in foil, place it on a baking tray and put it in the oven for 30 minutes at 200°C or when you unwrap the foil you can cut into it easily.

Peel your plantain then cut them into 1/2cm coins

Place them on a baking tray, drizzle over some oil if you want (they don't need it) and grill your plantains until nice and golden on both sides.If you want to sprinkle some chilli flakes over half of your  plantains and cinnamon on the other half before grilling

Peel and cut your plantains into slices

Heat your coconut oil in your pan then add your plantains and cook until both sides are golden
