Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan oven/gas 5. Line a large baking tray with non-stick baking paper.

Step 2

Mash half of the tomatoes with a fork and spoon into a bowl. Roughly chop the remaining tomatoes and add to the bowl with the red onion, pineapple, chilli, coriander, lime juice to taste and Jerk seasoning. Stir well until combined. Chill for 20 minutes to allow the flavours to mature.

Step 3

Peel the plantains and slice 1/8-inch thick. Toss in the oil, garlic granules and black pepper and spread in a single layer onto the prepared baking tray.

Step 4

Bake for 15–18 minutes until completely baked and cooked. Allow to cool and sprinkle with the cayenne pepper, if liked.
