I went online and found a recipe that promised similar results by baking them....
First, the pretty yellow/green ones in the grocery store are about a week away from being ready. So, they laid on the counter for the past week.
Trimmed the ends, they peeled mostly like a banana. Slightly banana scented, but very starchy.
Spray a baking dish with PAM - spray a little on top also to keep them from drying out.
Bake at 350 for about 35 minutes - turning them once. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Yum - they were really good - almost as yummy as the fried ones. I served them with refried beans and saffron rice. Good eats!

They used to serve plantains all the time at the dining hall at UNC. Can't say I'm too huge a fan of them, haha! But I'll bet they were pretty good when you made them! =)
