Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375°F and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Trim the ends of the plantains and peel off the skin. Slice them on an angle to get 1/2-inch-thick oval slices. Layer the plantain slices in the baking dish so they overlap slightly. Sprinkle on both sugars and the cinnamon. Drizzle the rum and orange juice over the plantains and dot the butter pieces on top. Bake until the plantains are golden brown, tender, and have lost their shape a bit, 30 to 40 min. Let cool for at least 10 min. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CARAMELIZED PLANTAINS
Plantains aren't meant for eating right out of the peel, but they are transformed into a gently sweet dessert when caramelized. If you can't find plantains, bananas are just as delicious.

GRILLED PLANTAINS WITH RUM-BROWN SUGAR GLAZE
Steps:
- Heat grill to high. Place rum, brown sugar, and salt in a small saucepan and cook until the sugar has melted and the mixture reduces and thickens slightly. Stir in butter until melted. Remove from the heat.
- Brush plantains with oil on both sides and grill until golden brown and caramelized, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Brush with the glaze during the last few minutes of grilling. Remove from the grill and brush with more of the glaze before serving.
SAUTEED BUTTERRUM PLANTAINS
Steps:
- In a large heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. In 2 batches, add the plantains and fry them in a single layer for about 4 minutes on each side. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm in a bowl while you fry the second batch.
- Transfer the second batch of plantains to keep warm with the first. In the same pan, combine the brown sugar, butter, and cream. Stir over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved, then increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a vigorous boil. Cook for 2 minutes, until slightly thickened. Return the plantains to the pan and stir to coat them evenly with the sauce. Pour the rum over the top and immediately light it with a match. Quickly spoon the flaming plantains over bowls of vanilla ice cream and serve.

BAKED PLANTAINS
Here's one way to add this Latin American specialty to your side dish repertoire. It's similar to how Americans north of the border would prepare a baked potato. Another popular way of serving it is sliced and fried until golden brown.
