No oil tajadas, amazing new sweet Colombian plantain recipe!
Sweet Colombian Plantain Strips – How to make the world’s best Sweet Plantain Strips gooey, sweet and delicious without frying them, and they are remarkably high in Vitamin C & B-6 and filled with fiber! 
If I may quote the Colombian writer, Plinio Apuleyo Mendoza, in his sensational story about my hometown, Volver a Barranquilla: "En la casa de la familia más rica y antigua de la cuidad, se come todos los días tajadas de plátano con arroz como en el último tugurio de Carrizal."

He clearly explains that every day in Barranquilla, both the oldest, richest families and those in the farthest, poorest huts eat tajadas de platano maduro and rice; we all have a remarkably close relationship with plantains* imbedded in our soul. Tajadas or sweet plantain strips are served as part of or alongside to the most famous Colombian dishes like 
Bandeja Paisa, Arroz Atollado, Seafood Rice, Posta Negra and many more. In the coasts of Colombia, we usually include sweet foods like these plantains in our main meals. Others are yuca balls with ‘melado’, which is a sugar syrup from raw sugar cane juice.

2 very ripe plantains*
Oil or oil spray to spread on the grill 

1. The plantains for this dish must be very ripe, the peel almost black, but still must be firm to the touch. When you press them gently, they should not feel mushy inside; if they are, the taste will be rancid and overripe. If you buy green plantains and wait for them to ripen it might take a week or two. Do not refrigerate them or they will not ripen well. It is better to buy plantains fully ripe or only a couple of days before, as this ensures you, they haven't been refrigerated and will ripen fully without getting mushy.

2. Cut the ends of the plantains and peel. Cut on the bias into 1/4-inch-thick slices.

3. Place the plantain pieces on a heated panini grill or sandwich grill at 390F. Cover them without flattening them and cook for 3 - 4 minutes. (If the grill doesn’t have a heated cover, then cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

4. Remove the plantains* from the grill with a flat spatula and serve.
