      <h1>Boli (Roasted Plantain) and Ata Dindin</h1>
      <img src="images/nigerian-dessert.jpg" alt="Boli and Ata Dindin" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto; border-radius: 10px; margin: 20px 0;">

      <p>Boli (Roasted Plantain) is a popular Nigerian street-food “dessert” or snack, known for its smoky aroma and naturally sweet flavor. Ripe plantains are roasted over open flames or charcoal until the outside is charred and caramelized, while the inside turns soft and tender. It’s simple, comforting, and widely loved for how the natural sugars deepen during roasting.</p>

      <p>Ata Dindin is a spicy, pepper-forward sauce that’s often paired with boli. It’s made from a rich blend of tomatoes, peppers, onions, and seasonings fried in oil until the flavors become concentrated and slightly smoky. Some versions include fried meats, fish, or assorted proteins, but at its core it’s a vibrant, hot, and flavorful stew.</p>

      <p>Together, Boli and Ata Dindin create a sweet-and-spicy combination: the caramelized plantain balancing the bold heat of the sauce. It’s a classic treat that shows how simple ingredients can deliver big, satisfying flavors.</p>

      <h2>How to Make It</h2>

      <h3>BOLI (ROASTED PLANTAIN)</h3>
      <ul style="list-style: disc; padding-left: 20px; max-width: 700px; margin: 0 auto 20px; text-align: left;">
        <li>Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).</li>
        <li>Wash and peel the plantains. Cut them into thick slices or leave them whole if you prefer.</li>
        <li>Mix the olive oil and salt in a bowl. You can add traditional Nigerian spices like suya spice for extra flavour.</li>
        <li>Brush the plantain slices or whole plantains generously with the oil mixture. Make sure they are coated evenly.</li>
        <li>Place the oiled plantains on a baking tray or ovenproof dish.</li>
        <li>Put the tray in the oven and bake for about 20-30 minutes, flipping the plantains halfway through. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don't burn.</li>
        <li>Your boli is ready when the plantains are golden brown and tender.</li>
        <li>Serve hot with spicy pepper sauce or groundnut (peanut) sauce.</li>
