Oven at 375 F. Trim ends from plantains. Cut a lengthwise slit in each plantain. Place plantains slit-side up on roasting pan and bake in oven until creamy and tender, 30-40 min. Remove plantains from oven, and let cool slightly. Leave oven on.

Peel plantains, and cut them into ½"-thick diagonal slices. Place in ovenproof serving dish. Sprinkle with lime juice and chile powder, and dab with butter. Season with salt. Toss gently. Return to oven, and heat through, about 10 min. Serve.
