Prepare the Plantains: While the beans are simmering, peel the ripe plantains and cut them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the plantain rounds and boil for 5-7 minutes, until tender. Drain well. Toss the boiled plantains with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and slightly crisp.
