To prepare Goya Baked Ripe Plantains, simply open the package. They can be enjoyed straight from the container for a quick and easy side. For a warm serving, heat them gently in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until warmed through, or place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes. Avoid overheating, as they are already cooked and tender. They are best served warm to enhance their natural sweetness and soft texture.
