Preparation

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Trim ends from plantains. Cut a lengthwise slit in each plantain. Place plantains slit-side up on roasting pan, and bake in oven until creamy and tender, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove plantains from oven, and let them cool slightly. Leave oven on.
2. Peel plantains, and cut them into 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. Place in ovenproof serving dish. Sprinkle with lime juice and chili powder, and dab with butter. Season with salt. Toss gently. Return to oven, and heat through, about 10 minutes. Serve.
