2. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
3. Add the sugar and cinnamon to the skillet and cook, stirring, until the sugar is melted and bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Add the rum, stir to combine, and cook until the sauce is thick and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.
5. Serve the plantains in small bowls with the hot sauce drizzled over all.
6. Garnish with the toasted walnuts and serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
