Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the plantain and slice it into half-inch rounds, then arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the plantains for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and golden.
While plantains roast, brown the lean ground beef in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink.
Add the chopped onion, green pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until the vegetables soften.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, sliced green olives, cumin, and oregano.
Reduce heat to low and simmer the mixture for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the savory beef picadillo alongside the roasted plantains for a balanced Latino-inspired meal.
