Platano Asado Con Queso y Miel
Baked Sweet & Cheesy Ripe Plantains 


Plantains are eaten all over Latin America and I especially love baking them. The plantain needs to be very ripe for this dish. The peel should be almost black and the flesh a bit mushy. This is a great healthy way to eat them that doesn't involve frying them. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 Very Ripe Plantain   
10 Cloves 
2 tablespoons of Vegan Queso Requeson
1/2 tablespoon of Maple Syrup   
1 tablespoon of Pecans  
1/8 teaspoon of Cinnamon
1 teaspoon of Coconut Oil  



Ingredients For The Vegan Requeson Cheese Filling:
1 cup of cashews  (soak them for a few hours)
2 tablespoons  of non-dairy milk  
1 tablespoons of fresh Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Mild Yellow Miso
1/2 tablespoon of Maple Syrup
1/4 tsp salt

Directions:
Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Clean and peel the plantain. Brush the plantain with a little melted coconut oil.

Put 5 cloves on each side of the plantain. Place the plantain into a greased up baking dish.

Bake for 30-40 min til its tender. Take out the cloves. 
​It should be soft enough to slide a toothpick in with no problem.

Cut the plantain lengthwise, just enough to stuff it with cheese but not all the way through.

Add the nuts and drizzle with maple syrup. Sprinkle cinnamon all over the plantain.


Directions for the Cheese:
Soak the cashews up to 24 hours. The longer you soak them, the creamier the cheese will be.
Put all the cheese ingredients into the food processor or blender. Pulse til you get the consistency you want. You want it to be creamy but still crumbly.
